The Mission

About Declaration 2.0

Congress doesn't listen to us. They listen to the people who stood behind Trump on Inauguration Day — the ones with the giant bags of cash. We know this. We've marched about it. It didn't work.

But those same billionaires? They listen to their quarterly earnings. When Disney tried to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, subscription cancellations doubled overnight. Disney backed down. That's all it took.

There are boycott lists out there. Good ones. But lists are passive — you read them, you feel something, you move on. Declaration 2.0 is different. We don't just tell you who to boycott. We ask you to put your name on the line.

Each month, we pick one corporation that is actively enabling constitutional violations. We publish specific, achievable demands — not vague grievances, but concrete actions the company can take. Then we open the declaration for signatures. Every signer is verified. Every number is real. The count is the pressure.

If the demands are met, the boycott ends. If they're not, it extends, and next month we add another target. The pressure compounds.

How It Works

Each month: Our editorial team selects a target based on documented evidence of harm. We publish the evidence and specific demands — not vague grievances, but concrete actions the company can take.

You sign: Create a free account, read the declaration, and add your name. You can sign publicly (your display name appears on the roll) or privately (you're counted but not named). Both count equally.

You act: Cancel the subscription. Stop the deliveries. Find an alternative. It might cost a little more or be a little less convenient. That's the point — we're risking convenience, not our lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is boycotting legal?

Yes. Consumer boycotts are protected First Amendment activity. You are free to choose where and how you spend your money.

There are other boycott campaigns. How is this different?

Most boycott efforts are lists — they tell you who to avoid but don't give you a way to be counted. Declaration 2.0 is a commitment mechanism. You sign your name to specific demands with a clear exit condition. The live, verified signer count is public and undeniable. We don't estimate impact from page views — we count real people who made a real pledge.

Why not boycott everything at once?

Because asking everyone to quit everything is impractical. Focused, sequential pressure on one target at a time is more effective and more sustainable.

Are the numbers real?

Every signer has a verified email address. There are no bots, no fake signups, no inflated counts. The number is the weapon — if people doubt it, the whole thing falls apart. Credibility is non-negotiable.

What if the company meets the demands?

Then the boycott ends. This isn't permanent punishment — it's leverage. Do the right thing, and we come back.

Who runs this?

This started as an essay called "Debugging Our Democracy" and an idea. It's currently maintained by a small team of volunteers. We're looking for organizational partners to help scale it. If you represent an advocacy organization, get in touch.
