Black Friday protests

Black Friday protests typically occur on the day after Thanksgiving in the United States, when many retailers offer significant discounts. These protests are organized by groups advocating for workers' rights, highlighting issues like low wages, poor working conditions, and job security in the retail sector. Activists use this high-traffic shopping day to draw attention to their cause, encouraging shoppers to consider the implications of their purchases on workers. The protests aim to raise awareness and push for improved labor practices, often using the slogan "Black Friday" to symbolize both consumerism and the need for social change in the workplace.
