The death of George Floyd and the widespread unrest that has followed has left many Americans wondering how to help, heal and build lasting bridges between communities. Making donations to organizations that fight police brutality and systemic racism is an incredibly important way to promote peace and progress, but another smaller action can have real and far-reaching effects into the future: shopping.

On Tuesday, June 7, many Americans will be participating in Blackout Day 2020 (under the hashtag #BlackoutDay2020 on social media), a day-long event in which Black Americans and allies will not spend money — or if they do, pledge to only do so at Black-owned businesses — as a means of economic protest.

According to the Facebook page for The Blackout Coalition, the group responsible for organizing Tuesday's event (though the concept was first introduced in 2015), Blackout Day was designed to be "an awakening of the national consciousness," in which "not one black person in America will spend a dollar outside of our community." The movement hopes to both strengthen and uplift Black-owned and -operated businesses while also demonstrating the power Black dollars hold in the economy.

"We are a nation of people within this nation that at any time can demand our liberation by withholding our dollars," reads the group's description. And although allies of all races are invited to participate in the movement, the group makes one thing clear: "Black people alone account for an estimated 1.2 trillion dollars or more of spending in the economy annually. Together we have 3.9 trillion dollars in economic spending power. While we welcome allies who choose to stand with us, we make absolutely no apology for the fact this movement is FOR US & BY US."

There are countless Black-owned businesses that sell online and ship all over the U.S. Here are just a few of the ones PEOPLE editors love — from fashion and beauty brands to home decor and food companies — that you can support for Blackout Day 2020.
