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.

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.
