What is the Shutdown 315 Movement?
Edit: Because of the number of negative and discouraging comments that are counterproductive to the message of this post, I have decided to remove select comments that discourage organization. I apologize in advance if your comment is removed inadvertently.
I removed 32 comments.
I think someone set one of these up for Feb 28 already, might be better to join up rather than have a bunch of them?
Why not do both?
In general, people will not be able to keep their jobs after "protesting" twice in 2 weeks. Let's focus everyone's attention on just one event so the impact is greater.
I would expect that one bigger event would have more effect then several smaller ones
One day isn't enough, we need to make this a month long shutdown. These military and prison industry profiteers will use militarized violence to stop such a monumental effort and this will dissolve the facade of our liberal democracy for the class dictatorship it truly is which is the wake up cup of espresso this fucking country needs asap.
