Reply to comment by ca_agent in LPT: protesting doesn’t bring change anymore, but strikes and boycotts do. by AnalBaggins

Enough people boycotted diary milk in Australia that nearly every cafe has dairy alternatives.

That's pretty cool, haven't heard anything about that. How did the boycott work? Did they boycott the cafés specifically or all dairy products?

Just cafes that didn't have non dairy alternatives. It was a slow boycot, people just would walk in "do you have soy milk or something non dairy?" If they said no, people went somewhere else. Cafes learn, and now they all have options. This sort of thing leads to change pretty quickly.

That does sound effective. I imagine grocery stores had to start stocking more ofnthose alternatives as well to support the cafes.
