THEY inturn will put pressure on politicians and perhaps THEN we can see some fucking change. In fact we should draft a message DIRECTLY addressing them.

Find out who makes the most political contributions, at least those we can get hold of.

The banks
Visa/MC etc
Walmart/Target/Amazon ETC

Tell them, you've successfully bought our political system, so we are not holding YOU responsible for fixing this. We will shop local to deprive you of your profits Amazon et. al, we will use cash to deprive you of your fees Visa, MC, we will shop at small businessess to deprive you of your profits Walmart/Target, and we will do this until you put pressure on the politicians you have bought to change policing tactics that disproportionately make our lives worse.

I ain't saying that's the message, but something like that.
