Girl-cotting & #GrabYourWallet: Women Have the Power 39:45

Happy Thanksgiving, listeners! In today's episode, we are going to play the expert interviews from our very first two episodes we ever recorded over eight months ago! These two episodes were about boycotting (which we are now calling girl-cotting), and felt like the perfect topics to help get you through the shopping blitz that is the weekend after Thanksgiving. As we'll learn in these interviews, women really do have the power when it comes to controlling the money and we can make change by paying attention to who we give our money to. First up we have Shannon Coulter, founder of the #GrabYourWallet movement to boycott Trump family related prodcuts. Shannon can be found on Twitter @shannoncoulter and more on #GrabYourWallet is here: https://grabyourwallet.org/ Then, we have Judy, Samuelson, Vice President of the Aspen Institute, who talks to us about the efficacy of boycotts; How they work, which ones have worked in the past, and what it takes to start a successful boycott.
