00:00A series of boycott movements emerged in response to the United States' recent policy changes,
00:08including Washington's decision to halt aid to Ukraine and the announcement of tariffs
00:12on Europe.
00:13The aim of the group?
00:15To urge members to stop buying and using U.S. products and services.
00:19For me, it actually started with me having to act.
00:23When I can't vote in the U.S. election, when I can't demonstrate on the streets of the
00:27U.S., I feel like I have to do something.
00:30On the page, members share recommendations on alternative options to U.S. goods and services,
00:35but for some, making the switch is not as evident as it might seem.
00:39I think it's a bit hard to say, because you go and do your daily shopping and you don't
00:46always think where it comes from.
00:48Facebook, ironically an American social media platform, has been popular for the creation
00:53of the groups.
