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 do these things on the weekdays and not on the weekends?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

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

Your city hall/capital building is empty on the weekend

Won’t it be empty on Presidents Day, a fed holiday?

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

This one yes I suppose, I guess its more symbolic. But I do see this comment on every protest so thought I'd clarify
