Preferred term

consumer boycotts  

Definition(s)

  • Consumer boycotts have long been a strategy for activists seeking to publicize issues and to promote social change. Boycott campaigns urge sympathizers to reject goods tainted by association with a rejected practice, location, or company, simultaneously demonstrating their support for broad moral and social issues and imposing economic penalties on the producers of those goods.
