A five-week consumer strike: Nov 21–Dec 26.

Buy local, repair what you own, and recruit three friends.

We don’t bankroll presidential perks.

What is NoBuy35?

NoBuy35 is a five-week, nonviolent consumer pause from Nov 21 → Dec 26. During that window, we ask people to skip new purchases from the “Big Five”—Apple, Amazon, Alphabet/Google (incl. YouTube), Meta, and Microsoft—to send a simple message: we don’t want private money buying VIP perks at the White House, and we don’t support the direction this administration is taking the country.

Why these companies?
Multiple outlets report the Big Five appear on the donor list for President Trump’s privately funded, $300M White House ballroom, with Alphabet/YouTube contributing about $22–24.5M via a legal settlement. That’s a concrete lever for consumer pressure.

What we’re asking for (clear and winnable):
By Dec 26, each company should withdraw/decline any ballroom donation and disclose amounts and terms. When a company does so, we lift the pause for that brand.

How to take part (easy mode):

1. Don’t buy new from the Big Five (devices, services, add-ons) during NoBuy35.

2. Make one switch (shop local/indie, repair instead of upgrade, pause Prime, move a slice of ad spend off donor platforms).

3. Invite three friends to do the same and share your switch using #NoBuy35.

What this is not:
Not anti-worker. Not harassment. Keep what you own; this is a time-bound pause on new purchases—a classic, nonviolent way to push for accountability.

Our message:

Withdraw. Disclose. Respect democracy. The American public doesn’t want influence-buying at the People’s House—or policies that normalize authoritarianism. We’ll use our wallets to say so.

Pass it on.
