Black Lives Matter plans to boycott Black Friday, claiming that a way to spread awareness of their movement is to hurt the US economy. The group also wants “Black Friday” to be renamed “BlackLivesMatterFriday.”
“Let’s hit America where it hurts!” reads BLM’s website. “I challenge you not to spend one dime on “Black Friday”. Let’s black it out, and make sure not one black face is littering the local mall!”
The group is using the catchphrase “Hands Up, Don’t Shop:”
A Facebook group devoted to the boycott exclaims that “we must slow or stop the american economy around retail Goods [sic].”
It further reads, “Black Friday has been shown as a day were people put shopping before people lives and we are not ok with that especially when hundreds of unarmed people of color are gunned down by police every year with no charges filed against the police officers –we are taking black friday back from the nation and permanently renaming it #BLACKLIVESMATTERFRIDAY.”

Black Lives Matters’ website is also calling for a boycott during the entire Christmas and Holiday Season:
