@janisf --
You just called out your own issue. It is impossibly hard to organize. So you don't. You ACT. Individuals. Not organizations.
The big marketing firms have their demographic data and more information about you than you really know. Let them spend their money divining the consumer sentiment if we simply stop spending.
This is why I say that you inhibit and hobble the very change you want to see.
