For this episode, Andrea Pitzer checks out a local #TeslaTakedown protest last weekend just outside DC, where she considers who showed up and what effect protesting Elon Musk might have. Given the accelerating damage to Tesla's bottom line, Musk's public response, and mounting pressure on the administration to do something about him, these protests are a way for minimal public effort to have maximum impact.
A look at the ongoing boycott against Target and buycott to support Costo reveals that these efforts by consumers seem to be having the desired effect as well. Andrea reviews brand new research on what was accomplished by Black Lives Matter, and it might surprise you. Despite all the backlash and racism about the movement, the protests seem to have worked most effectively in the heart of Trump country.
The episode ends with a reminder about the HANDS OFF! protests nationwide planned for Saturday, April 5, aimed at protecting Medicaid, Social Security, libraries, and a lot more—while demanding civil rights for all.
