The day after Thanksgiving, the largest shopping day of the year, is called “Black Friday” by retailers, and “Buy Nothing Day” by activists against consumerism.*  This Friday, artists and activists are transforming the biggest day of mass consumption into a day of mass-resistance by supporting thousands of protesting Walmart workers as they demonstrate at Walmart stores and warehouses across the country, challenging the greed of one of America’s wealthiest corporations.  To see more graphics, or send in some of your own designs, go to bit.ly/U9Wpv6
