With the recent string of police shootings of black lives, many have been protesting either silently, by taking to the streets, or kneeling. We’ve heard many times that the way to make real change is to “hit them where it hurts” in their pockets.

Ideas such as investing money into black owned banks, and boycotting companies that don’t support anti injustice organizations or causes were just a few of the ideas thrown out over the past year. Well now actor Isaiah Washington has a new idea of his own and its making headway and going viral.

Washington thinks the best way to fight police brutality and make the world understand that ‘Black Lives Matter’ is to stay home and boycott spending anywhere. The day he wants to do it? September 26, the day of the first presidential debate, which is being moderated by Lester Holt. He took to Facebook to share his plan.

“If every single African American in the United States that was really fed up with being angry, sad and disgusted, would pick ONE DAY to simply ‘stay at home’ from every single job … I’m very sure that within 72 hours from Wall Street to the NFL…Black Lives Would Matter,” Washington suggested in a tweet, saying that fighting back economically is the only way this country will hear black people out.

“September 26, 2016 is THE DAY,” Washington wrote.
