Episode 409.5 - Buycotting as a form of Community Care
In this second part of this year's Halo-Halo Podcast's Four-part Collection on Social Justice, your co-hosts explore how ethical consumerism, brand activism and buycotting are daily, informed ways of taking care of communities that you support or champion. Jezzie recounts the history of how buycotting has been a form of political action since the 1990s and how today these daily buying choices can add up to make a difference in supporting and caring for communities in need. Later, Sigi brings us up to speed on Filipina/x/o businesses and enterprises where our patronage can show them that we care.
