Poll question: Should this forum be updated from "Activist HQ" to "Activist/Boycott HQ"?
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 03:57 PM by BrendaBrick
Though it might just naturally stand to reason that boycott topics would typically fall under this existing: "Activist HQ" - still, I think there might be something to be said to include the word "Boycott" in the forum title as a catch-phrase of sorts. To get folks thinking along those lines as well as to post the results such a boycott produces, as in the current pulling of the Groupon ads from "The Apprentice" show website:

2. I voted that it's fine as it is,
but it wouldn't HURT.

3. FYI, Groupon has said it never advertised on "The Apprentice" show.
And Groupon responded to an online petition. A real boycott did not have time to make itself felt,

On the poll, what if someone else wants to add marching, or picketing, or standing silent vigil, etc.? "Activism" includes many things, Boycott is only one of those things and not always the most appropriate or the most effective one.
