Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

Why are all these things thrown together with barely a few days notice?
They're not, but word isn't getting around fast enough so people find out late. Please help spread the word.
*I am not an organizer of this or any group. I'm just spreading info.
Why do these things on the weekdays and not on the weekends?
Your city hall/capital building is empty on the weekend
Won’t it be empty on Presidents Day, a fed holiday?
This one yes I suppose, I guess its more symbolic. But I do see this comment on every protest so thought I'd clarify
Because the idea of this protest is to also not spend money that day, on anything. A business day is a day with business. Make it a shitty business day.
It's a day when everyone needs to show up to work to keep the machine running. Make it a shitty work day for the owners by not showing up.
Labor strike on weekdays
Consumer purchasing strike on weekends
I'm not American, but I see a bunch of these popping out of nowhere here in Lemmy, nowhere else and they barely get any attention.
People really need to get organized better. Get some big names behind them and then organize these things.
The "big names" are mostly okay with what's happening.
Also, labor strike on a Saturday was being floated... Travel to state capitol on a weekday at noon? Agree with some others speculating that these are either baby steps of a desperate movement forming with growing pains (fine) or deliberate astroturfing bullshit meant to sap energy, sow confusion and make people disengage. With the calculated and frantic pace of the other heritage foundation/2025 moves to date, wouldn't surprise me if this was the right.
Anyone have any back story on the organizers and money backing any of these recent protest efforts?
