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.
Can we stop making random calls like this on social media? We need actual organization and leadership to be directing this stuff.

Then contact your Democratic representatives and get the ball rolling.
As if Democrats actually do anything to stop Trump
Then try the DSA.
Every journey begins with the first step, put your shoes on.
So, no one can protest for better living conditions, because you can’t? Sorry about your situation, but that is exactly why we are organizing. If you are not able to participate, that’s fine. You may be resigned to defeatism, but please don’t discourage others from wanting to improve the conditions in which we all live. If you have a better plan to resist, I’m sure others would like to hear it.
Every time someone encourages action there's always someone to step in and say "it won't work."
You sound like you have a lot of great ideas, you should try to link up with people and join in and try to help organize! A lot of it can be done whenever you have a bit of time, everyone is valuable and capable of contributing in someway.
People are freaking out right now, I bet there are social circles/groups in your town that are very concerned and would be open to setting up secure communications with like-minded people. It really is as easy as going to the local coffee shop or gay bar and leaving/reading a flyer, get involved.

99% of people will never even know this is a thing. It's going to have more negative impact on low wage earners who show up than anything else.
Maybe you should join the organization and let them know.
Take charge then.
