Speaking of "

Comms" you need to communicate with all of the left-wing leading podcasters and make sure that they are talking about the Nationwide strike a LOT so maybe mainstream media will pick it up to reach more elderly people that don't use the internet so much or their smartphones very well.... Also you say national strike but you have to be more detailed ! what are we striking ? what exactly are we doing? what are the top three things that an average person can do in this strike specifically... When talking about it don't assume everybody is tech savvy and knows what things like "Open AI" means

Thank you! We need specifics.

Being a boomer does not make someone a digital Luddite. Non tech people live in a world full of tech people. And when they play bridges, volunteer, go to church, communication abounds. The real issue is this was planned 3 days ahead? I'm online way to much multi platform and only learned of this yesterday.

Thank you. I am a boomer and do not consider myself a Luddite either.

THANK YOU!! I think the most effective thing we can do is a HUGE rally in DC. Not just for the murders in MN but against ALL they are doing to ruin the country! Big turnout=Big impact! Let them know we have had it!

RX Barry's avatar

Yes! That! Put 5 million in DC and surrounding every government agency and bldg. During the week. Clog streets, block traffic. Prevent the fascists from pulling the levers.

New to the site. At first glance very interesting. Our frustrations with these marches, particularly in San they communicate they communicate poorly. Half the time we don’t know if there is actually a March and the other times we don’t know where to meet. You need to help them get the word out. Thank you 🙏

His last words were: “Are you ok?”

No man. I’m not OK 😭

Let’s get to 3.5% of population participating in protests, wearing whistles only as a symbol of resistance to this vile regime.

RX Barry's avatar

We need 35%. Stop aiming low. We need 5 million in DC alone and another 30 million nationwide.

A national shutdown...THAT'S what I'm talking about. Enough is enough. It's "We the people" time to wrest control back. No rest until we wrest!

We are grateful for your organizing. I want everyone to pressure democrat governors to come out on the streets with demonstrators. Get off TV and come out with us. Use your campaign dollars to help us fund these events! We have the Will but not the money to pay for sound systems insurance, etc. Get off TV and into the streets. If you wait too long, it will be too late.

Agree with LGH- a National Shutdown/Strike for more than one day. We make fun of the French people but BOY do they know how to protest! They’ll clog the streets for more than one day and get a government response. Please teach us how to do this. Especially retirees- we have time, resources but no job to walk out on. We need all hands on deck to bring down this corrupt administration!

I’m glad for the organizers and their work, but why set a date two months out? I get that a larger turnout in the warmer weather is expected but still…There’s so many aphorisms I could use:

Shutting the barn door after the cows are out. Striking while the iron is hot.

The early bird gets the worm.

He who hesitates is lost.

It's way past time for LARGE signs to be held by the millions, commanding OUR MILITARY TO DO THEIR JOB! AND KEEP THEIR OATH!! IT'S FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN NO KINGS SIGNS AT THIS TIME! PASS THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!!

There is a genocide against transgender Americans (per the Lemkin Institute, the world’s foremost authority on genocide) underway and you are claiming the Saturday before Transgender Day of Visibility? This is not it.🖕

I participate in the events. However, I think there needs to be more. We made a difference with Target, and Jimmy Kimmel by doing something. It occurs to me that we keep talking about Trump as opposed to the masterminds behind this. We'd garner his supporters if we stop talking about him and talk about Miller and the rest. DO A SOCIAL MEDIA BLACKOUT DAY. Let the money makers know their money can go away too.

Sheila McGowan's avatar

We’ll be there March 28th! Glad to have a definite date

Valeria Sasser's avatar

Ok, good organizing, I will be there, but March is WAY TOO FAR in the future. You need to call NOW, mobilize NOW. The people protesting the murders and absurdities cannot lose momentum.

US Blues's avatar

Yay! We need more protests everywhere sooner than later though!

Wouldn’t miss it for the world. And thank you. Linda c SF

You need to schedule these for 8-5. An ALL DAY event. These 2-hr flag waving events show no long term commitment.
