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

My first impulse on reading this stuff is "Who are you guys? I've never even heard of you before?"

Like, I definitely get the Think Big impulse but... this is reprint of a rallying cry from a lightly distributed Canadian Newspaper. Is this even directed at Americans? Idfk.

I might at least take this more seriously if I'd heard about it through my local DSA chapter rather than as a random graphic on the back corner of a small social media forum.

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