Forget about Occupy Wall Street. Small business organizations across the country want to occupy Main Street and have united to encourage local residents and businesses to shift their shopping and buy from local independent businesses this holiday season. The name of the initiative is “Shift Your Shopping.”

The “Shift” campaign, which represents more than 38,000 locally owned and independent businesses across the U.S. and Canada, is designed to boost the economy and preserve and create jobs in local communities.
