Here's an idea from a friend...
You might have all heard about the badass warriors who made a point of all going to Home Depot to purchase an ice scraper with a CREDIT CARD if you can... and then standing back in line 5 minutes later to return it ... (google it - people are so creative) .
NEW IDEA. Same thing, but buy a few screws with your credit card (it adds fees for HD) ... then when you return it a few minutes later, tell the employee to SCREW ICE ... make sure they know the reason you are returning !!!! Smile!
Well, how about we all just do that at our own leisure?
I tried it last week - it was a success, and it made me feel better LOL ...

Here is what you can do ... as often as you can manage it ... work it into your routines if you have to!
I told the nice lady (remember it is NOT the employees fault) that I was returning this "ice scraper" in solidarity with my friends in the community - to send a message that we do not welcome thugs into our neighborhoods to terrorize our friends! All with a smile on my face ... she almost cried when she said, I totally understand !! and happily returned my buck back to my credit card ...
ANYONE can make this happen -- if you are looking for a way to RESIST with us, but being on a street corner is intimidating (no judgment, we all do what we feel comfy with), well THIS little Good Trouble Causing mission is for you!!!
Bonus points if you then post about it on your social media platforms to encourage others to do this simple act!
They shut down a Home Depot (upper Cali) when they had 100's of people doing this AT THE SAME TIME ...
So, for now, let's just do it on our own ... whenever you can!
