I just came across this TikTok "#boycott#Kelloggs for their #LetThemEatCereal for dinner" remark", and I love how clear the goal and mechanism to achieve it are: if enough people do this one fairly little thing for a full quarter, the powerful will notice, and can be forced to change their behavior.
We are just under three weeks away from the start of the #LetThemEatCereal#KelloggsBoycott ---just time enough to find out what products you regularly buy you need to find alternates for.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, all the details and links to more information here:
Please boost and share for wider reach; every person who has the means to participate helps.
Please boost: there are only two weeks until the #KelloggsBoycott starts; you still have time to plan your buying strategy so as not to give any of your hard earned money to the corporation that literally said, " #LetThemEatCereal for dinner"
Starting today, #LetThemEatCereal. The #KelloggsBoycott is not an April Fools prank; it's a way for everyone who has seen their grocery bills go up and up and up over the pandemic (while wages remain stagnant), to come together and effect change.
Something some people who don't like to "talk politics" will appreciate: you can join the #KelloggsBoycott without announcing it (online, to your friends, extended family, co-workers, etc). You can...just do it.
You'll get context and links to the information you need to tell the CEOs that it's time for them to fucking eat cereal for dinner--and lunch and breakfast.
The 99% deserves to be able to afford actual food and have a few dollars left over to spend on whatever the fuck we want.
Day three of the #KelloggsBoycott and counting up to three whole months for a full quarter earnings report that makes the assholes' up in the C suite take notice.
Have you heard? We are boycotting Kellogg's products for 90 days, to let the CEOs and other C-suite rich people that the rest of us deserve to be able to buy actual food for dinner (and lunch and breakfast), and that we will not put up with their obscene joy in exploiting us. (wages: stagnant. profit: up 28% in 3 years).
Another day, another reminder: we are boycotting all Kellogg's products for a full quarter, in protest for their CEO blithely telling people who can't afford meat and eggs to "eat cereal for dinner".
Wages are stagnant (millions haven't seen a raise in years), Kellogg's profit is up 28% in three years.
Day six of the #KelloggsBoycott As you run out of their products, please, look for alternatives, to tell the C-suite assholes that the 99% are on to them, and won't let them keep raising prices at will without protest.
Kellogg's prices have been raised 28% in the past few years. Most people haven't even seen a full 2% raise per year in the same time.
Why? Kellogg's corporation profits have gone up 28% in the last few years; the wages of the 99% have not (in fact, millions haven't seen a raise over 1% or 2% per year in the same period)
Because food prices have increased over 25% in the past four years, and food corporations' CEOs make millions a year, while the minimum wage has been $7.25 for decades.
You know why there's a #KelloggsBoycott underway? There's obscene food price increases, there's also shit like this. To the CEOs and Csuit assholes, we are not human, we're either labor or profit sources (the poor's can't afford their shit)
I'm late to remind you that we are starting our fourth week of the #KelloggsBoycott.
It is time to curb unbridled corporate greed while building solidarity across communities: all but the super rich have noticed how quickly all food staples are pricing out of our reach--then Kellogg's CEO told us to "eat cereal" instead of, you know, food.
As you plan your grocery run this week, keep the #KelloggsBoycott in mind; because the 99% deserve affordable food, and less contempt from the CEOs of the big food corporations.
@herhandsmyhands@romancelandia@bookstodon dammit, wish I had know about this before I bought Special K yesterday. (In my defense, the store was out of the Post protein cereal I usually get.)

Collective action is the only way for individuals without billions in currency or property, and those who aren't elected officials at high levels of government, to change the status quo for the benefit of the whole.
