LOL.
Alyssa Milano wants people to boycott FedEx, Amazon and Apple TV over their ties to the NRA, but just for one day. March 1, to be exact:
THURSDAY!
We are calling for a one-day boycott of @amazon @appletv @fedex. Pass it on.
Don’t shop.
Don’t stream.
Don’t ship.
As consumers we are demanding these companies sever ties with the @NRA. #march1NRABoycott #BoycottNRA #Enough pic.twitter.com/sQ61m7jnTd

BOY, THAT WILL SHOW THEM!
Now, to put things into perspective, the Montgomery Bus Boycott — which started when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white customer — lasted for one year and 15 days.
Oh, and she’s taking heat over this one-day protest action by her fellow libs:
Alyssa, #TheResistance has been calling for a permanent boycott UNTIL @amazon @JeffBezos cut ties with @NRA @NRATV. One day is not enough…I've cancelled #AmazonPrime and have halted all purchases until they do!!#BoycottAmazon #BoycottTheNRA https://t.co/N1ikoYj4f1

One day boycotts do absolutely nothing to companies that measure profits by quarterly reports, especially if people go right back to using them the next day.
This needs to have a LASTING impact to have ANY impact. https://t.co/0PMCpRPZ5K— Alien Lima-Bean Wrangler (@zeframmann) February 27, 2018

Never sure what single-day boycotts do, but I'm down not to shop with @amazon that day, at least (no AppleTV and I'm already on the #BoycottFedEx path).
Anyone with more econ knowledge than I want to explain the efficacy of a one-day boycott?#BoycottNRA #BoycottNRASponsors https://t.co/owuxrBhiAL

So, do what you gotta do, Alyssa, but this sounds like it might not work.
