What is Buy Nothing June?

Well, since June is a month that is irrevocably compromised, and the US economic system measures success by one thing (money) the goal is simple, to stop all money in motion on that month.

Other than your required monthly payments, make no transactions.

Not to friendly, neutral, or hostile businesses.

Just... don't spend money.

Stock up your fridge and pantry, fill up your gas tanks, make whatever durable goods purchases you need this month.

It's not a boycott. It's simply a quiet walk away from the Pride Economic Engine.

You don't even need to talk about it in tracked social media. Enough of us slowly pass this along word of mouth to just... not spend money and it is hard to be accused of whatever thought crime they try to come up with.

You could even if you wanted to be public about it, just call it a preparedness exercise for disasters, testing if you can survive economically on your own for one month.

When it's done you can celebrate by buying all the shit you need to normalize your lifestyle again in the first 4 days of July.

In celebration of a kind of pride that has been demonized for far too long.
