What the Free America Walkout is
What “nonviolent noncooperation” means and why it’s important
Why walkouts do something rallies can’t
A short history of walkouts (and what they achieved overall)
Safety-first participation options for real life constraints
If you can’t walk out, you still can
If walking out at 2 PM local time would risk your job, safety, health, or stability, choose a lower-risk option:
Step away during an official break
Join a local action before or after work
Skip spending/commerce that day if you can
Help someone else participate safely (rides, water, childcare swaps)
Share official info so others can coordinate
