"December is the month where consumerism reaches its peak. 'Holiday spirit' has been weaponized into pressure, guilt, and overspending. Families go into debt to fulfill expectations created by companies that do not care about their lives, their wages, or their future. This year, we break that cycle," People’s Union USA states about the Christmas boycott.

People's Union USA alleges that these companies have "manipulated the cost of living, driven inflation, and treated the American people as a revenue stream".

"December has become the most profitable month of the year for the corporations that drain our economy, raise prices without cause, and funnel their record profits into political influence instead of community wellbeing. These companies survive because the people keep feeding them. So this month, we stop feeding them," People’s Union USA adds.
