Years ago I spotted a home-made lime juicer in a Cuban market. I picked it up, turned it over. “Should I buy it?” I asked the friend who had brought me there:

“Of course you should buy it,” she said. “Every time you squeeze a lime with this thing, you’ll think of me.”

Here’s a vow we can make to ourselves from Buy Nothing Day forward. When we do have to buy something, make it count. Make it memorable. Get to know the vendor, learn some story about them or the product. It’s better to buy in a physical store than online from Amazon. Better still to buy directly from the farmer or artisan who made it, and attach a memory to every purchase.

Rethink Christmas! — restore it to the beautiful year-end ritual it used to be before the commercial forces hijacked it.

Avoid malls, supermarkets and chain stores.

Spurn Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy.

Do as much as you can locally. Get you family together and vow to reduce your Christmas footprint and help win the planetary endgame.

Turn the season into a celebration of frugality and togetherness — and never let the commercial hucksters steal it from you again.

This Christmas,
Let's Get Together
And Forget the Rest

When was the last time your opinion was taken seriously by political leaders? For too long, we, the people of the world, have been ignored. No longer. Imagine if a million people voted in this referendum, on our little website, it would send an overwhelming message to those in power. One they can no longer ignore.

F*CK IT ALL FRIDAYS
“It is not light that we need, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.”
‍
Activism has lost its might. We need to up the ante.
One single protest never changed the world.
‍
#FuckItAllFridays is a weekly global ritual. Every Friday we revolt. It’s the only way to stop humanity’s impending doom. Pick a way to win the planetary endgame this Friday, and next Friday, and the Friday after that too.

Upcoming / Past Campaigns

#WorldwideGeneralStrike - Tactical Briefing #1

Once in every era, the call of history compels a small number of people — or even just one person — to steer the world in a fresh new direction. This is that call. Why? The Earth is on fire. An unjust and destructive financial system threatens to pull everything down with it as it crumbles under its own weight.

#BuyNothingDay - Tactical Briefing 3

#BuyNothingDay, extending through #BuyNothingXmas to the New Year, has always served as a chance to meditate on our addiction to consumption and its poisonous effects — not just on our physical, but also on our mental environment.

#BuyNothingDay - Tactical Briefing 2

This year's #BuyNothingDay stands to be the most critical yet in the activist tradition's nearly 30-year history.Why? It hardly bears repeating: the coronavirus has decimated the economy and (re-)exposed nauseatingly profound inequalities. In its wake, barely any but the biggest and most ruthless of businesses can hope to survive while the rest drop like flies.

#BuyNothingDay - Tactical Briefing 1

With the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, the upcoming shopping season — beginning with Black Friday and continuing through Xmas to the New Year — is going to be a lot different than it ever was in the past. Not only have thousands of small and medium-size businesses gone belly-up, leaving only the most ruthless and eclipsing corporate monopolies alive.

#WhiteHouseSiege - Tactical Briefing #10

Tactical Briefing #10 It's time . . . time to jazz the vote.Get out your horn. Call your friends. Go to your nearest advance polling station and play some rebel jazz for all the good souls waiting there in line.

#WhiteHouseSiege - Tactical Briefing #9

Tactical Briefing #9 A week remains. The once-mighty U.S. is set to plunge into a moral, political, and constitutional crisis — unless we the people, the ultimate arbiters of power, intervene to set things to rights.

#WhiteHouseSiege - Tactical Briefing #8

Tactical Briefing #8 Imagine this: It’s midnight, November 3rd. Every American’s fingernails are gnawed to the quick. Trump holds a razor-thin lead. If the counting stopped here, he’d eke out a marginal win of the popular vote.

#WhiteHouseSiege - Tactical Briefing #7

Tactical Briefing #7 In a picture included in an e-mail we received August 13th, ten men in fatigues and tactical gear, bearing military-style rifles, pose with an American flag. The message, which refers to us at Adbusters as “lowly little skinny jean wearing fuck boys” (gee, does that sting!), reads as follows: “You’ve awakened a sleeping giant, the sheep will be fucked up real nicely by us SheepDogs ... seasoned vets whom seen war up and personal, actually, I kind of miss it a bit...” (sic).

#ThirdForce Collective Manifesto

We're at a tipping point.

The internet has reversed a centuries old power dynamic. Billions of us now hold the most revolutionary tool ever invented in the palms of our hands.

The streets have unprecedented power. After centuries of rule by kings, emperors, tyrants, madmen, fascists, communists, Maoists, military dictatorships and corporations, we’re now ready to take charge of our own destiny and start calling the shots from below.

Today we number 18,000. Tomorrow we’ll be 100,000. The day after next, we could be a billion people strong — enough to spark a world revolution in how we live, love and think.

Be a part of our global network of activists, artists, writers and revolutionaries. Be one in a billion!

Join the Third Force Collective for tactical briefings, campaign info and critical intelligence.

Now 18,000+ strong!

Come with us for a journey of a lifetime.
