    I’m curious why you think boycotts can’t work but mass protests would. Don’t they both require a massive amount of people rallying together for a cause? If at the next shareholder meeting, the business owners can’t show “line going up”, they’ll have to respond to the consumers who are boycotting their product or get booted by the shareholders.

      ICE isn’t a business though, it’s a government agency. It’s not something a citizen can boycott unless everyone just collectively stops paying taxes.

      I don’t think the protest is all that effective either, but it’s better than a boycott.
