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.

How about you shut this shit down right fucking now. I don’t think we all want to suffer for another six weeks. Hell I don’t even think you’ve got another six weeks.

Speaking as an outsider here but Jesus America, enough is enough already. The best time to act was three months ago, the second best time is now.

Organising takes time, if you dont do it together it wont work.

I would argue you could stop going to work and stop giving them money today and people will catch on to that.

Your democracy is on the line how many more excuses do you want to make?

These things need to be organised and gain momentum. Fuck all people are going to “stop work today”. Pretty much asking people to risk financial ruin on the promise that “we will be there tomorrow too, promise bro”.
