WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., June 30, 2022 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Local and national pro-choice groups have declared that since women are rapidly losing the freedom to control their own bodies, Independence Day has struck a new chord this year\u2026 with a spending strike. Bans Off Our Bodies in Florida is calling for a complete strike of all retail goods from July 2 until the completion of July 4, 2022. Since women have 85% control over consumer spending according to Forbes, the impact could be huge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking to show Florida and the country that the impact of controlling women\u2019s bodies will have far-reaching consequences,\u201d said Laura Lippo, one of the event organizers. \u201cToday, women control more than $10 trillion of total U.S. household financial assets according to CNBC. I hope we send the message that if the government tries to control our bodies, we will leverage our spending power to affect the economy of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Americans are estimated to spend 7.52 billion dollars over the holiday weekend; Bans Off Our Bodies is calling for a total freeze-out of this spending. \u201cWhether it\u2019s fireworks or food, gas or clothes, don\u2019t do it! Don\u2019t spend a dime,\u201d Co-organizer Alicia Caple says. \u201cWe will be seen. We will be heard.\u201d<\/p>\n
