Wouldn't it be easier to disrupt the system by—I don't know—something old & boring like ask everyone to clean out/close their bank accounts at the same time to cause a run on banks?
Where do people come up with these less effective ideas? -
That warehouse disaster was horrible. Those poor souls. May they rest in peace.
I still can't believe Amazon got away with it.

Can someone just make an iCal that I can subscribe to? Can’t keep all these boycotts straight
How about an anti-Honey plug in that reminds you not to order when you’re trying to check out.

This is great and all, but here's a bonus challenge: don't use Amazon ever fucking again!
Do it and you're cool!! Even though I haven't used it in awhile, I have the app downloaded. I'm going to uninstall it as soon as I post this comment.
Or use it as a product search engine, then go to the supplier or an alternate online store to buy the one you want. I don't have it on my phone but do go to it in browser occasionally for that.

You can't have change without sacrifice.

Yeah that's basically all I used it for over the last year anyway. Any product on Amazon that isn't junk probably has it's own site in my experience

I week long boycott will do nothing. If that is the most you are prepared to inconvenience yourself to send a message, then just give up now.

Yeah, having like <5% of people put off buying stuff for a week isn't going to do that.
Unfortunately at this point only something fairly world-changing is going to really do much. And it's definitely going to get much worse before it gets better. Prepare for it.

Was it not in a 401k or something?

Agreed. Better to make it a month or two. This gives you time to find replacement companies and then hopefully never return to Amazon.

Great Idea.
Perhaps call it something like:
BeeOff - A play on "bee" similar to Honey, but with a focus on avoiding (off) certain products.
BoycottBee - Directly stating its purpose as a boycott tool.
Avoidify - Emphasizes the idea of avoiding certain products or brands.
BlanketBan - Suggests a comprehensive avoidance or ban.
NectarNone - Opposite of honey nectar, focusing on avoiding products.

Sounds like an excuse to not get started.

Also tell them why you're boycotting them. That's an important step.
