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.

      While the full list of demands is still being added to, discussed, edited and submitted to a legal expert, some of our basic demands are as follows:

      Protection and permanent guarantee of civil rights for all

      Total government reform

      Publicly funded health care

      Adequate and accessible disability support and services

      A permanent solution to Homelessness, hunger and the housing crisis

      Respect and support for tribal Sovereignty and involvement with indigenous leadership for environmental action

      Enhanced enforcement of constitutional rights

      More power to american voters

      I hope they get their full demands sorted out. A protest without immediate actionable legal demands is pretty doomed from the start. Especially one that encourages it’s protestors to give something up. Unless we can have a moment where we can see a politician sign something into law the end of the protest will be vague and mired in “negotiations” until people have had enough and decide they need to start making money again without anything of consequence being accomplished.

      I think it’s pretty interesting actually.

      The top critic I’d point to, it’s that for something so huge like that, it’s needed a food chain which connects rural to urban areas established. That’s the first thing.

      After that other things can be looked up, like electricity, water supply, etc etc

      Then a rupture with capitalist system can be created, but it needs to be understood that “nonviolent direct action” isn’t an option! At the first trial on labor strikes, capitalists will crush it with all their forces and repression skill
