I Don't Know Who Needs To Hear This But Yelling At People To Boycott Starbucks As A First Step To Helping

I don't know who needs to hear this but yelling at people to boycott Starbucks as a first step to helping Palestine does not do nearly as much as:

Calling your Senator

Donating to a charity like PCRF, UNRWA, or MSF

Emailing your Senator

Actually looking up the companies BDS asks you to boycott (Starbucks isn't on there; you can boycott if you want, but maybe start your call to action with something a little more relevant, like McDonald's or Puma)

Calling your House Rep

Voting in your primary election

Emailing your House Rep

Donating to a pro-ceasefire candidate who's up for reelection this November like Tlaib or Sanders

Emailing the DNC

Learning about the most effective rhetoric for changing minds

Donating to get out the vote campaigns

Emailing your governor

Literally anything that isn't blogging about how boycotting Starbucks being the biggest thing you can do

But especially picking up the phone and calling your goddamn senators

Smugly telling people to stop going to Starbucks does next to nothing. Call. Your. Elected. Officials.

Don't forget about the Palestinians.

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.
