‘We are the economy’

People of the Union founder John Schwarz has been very vocal on the group’s Instagram account, sharing information about the boycotts and why they are instrumental in helping consumers regain control of the economy instead of wealthy corporations.

“Seven days. No Walmart. No more funding the very corporations that hoard billions while your families and mine work two jobs just to survive,” Schwarz said in an Instagram post on Tuesday. “This is not just a boycott. This is a message. We are the economy. We are reminding these corporations and the politicians they sponsor that without us, they truly are and have nothing.”

He continued: “We are not asking for handouts. We are demanding accountability. These corporations must pay their fair share in taxes. They must fight manufacturers for a reasonable profit cap, and there must be a return to human dignity in this country, across the board.”
