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.

I think someone set one of these up for Feb 28 already, might be better to join up rather than have a bunch of them?

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Take charge then.

I wish you best of luck to fight against your authoritarian and early-fascist regime.

Nevertheless it's also possible to let the US burn down and join the united states of Europe. We need more (left) minded people as well before it's too late like in the US.

Banning Science and specific topics in education...that's how it began here in Germany

This kind of organization doesn’t really work, you cant just set a day without a strong organized backing

Then contact them and help them organize.

You can always contact the organizers and constructively offer help, I’m sure they would welcome it.
