Listen,
for folks who don’t know, I was a part of a small organizing team that led to a mass mobilization in 813 cities worldwide in 2019.I am not talking out of my ass.
You should be VERY VERY VERY careful in this environment about sharing flyers for events that identify NO organizer

Love a protest in the middle of the workday, should be easy for most people to attend, no?
I’ve already seen someone on Lemmy say that they should feed their kids out of dumpsters if they lose their job that they rely on to live paycheck-to-paycheck (like almost half of Americans) and then their home because they can’t pay rent.
And if they lose their kids to CPS because they were made homeless and their parents were arrested during a general strike protest? Hey, they were clearly just MAGA bootlickers anyway.
You realise that anytime is the middle of the work day.
Not everyone is working 9-5. People work shifts, nights, and weekends.
You realize that there are differences in the populations working at different times, right? Or are you just happy to be seen being outraged?
Sure I realise that, but I was more pointing out that whatever time a protest is there will be people like you unhappy with it.
I don’t know what gave you the impression I want to be seen outraged and I do hope you’re not making judgments about me over a single comment as that wouldn’t be very good.
It would be like me labelling you for the two comments I’ve seen you post. Positive intent my friend.
If people aren’t willing to give up 1 hour of their corporate slavery to stop facism, then we are already doomed.
It’s 576 miles between El Paso and Austin. Please explain how someone is going to be able to get there within an hour with time to protest.
There’s a difference between “willing” and “able” 😅
Your privilege is showing
Today you learn lot of people don’t live in their states capital city
Yea, I’m looking at this but thinking “that’s not happening lol” with my state. I’m in AZ and anyone outside Phoenix is probably driving at least 2 hours just to get there.
For me: 6 hours in a car with 5000ft (1500m) drop/climb just for a protest that’s vaguely “against Project 2025”. I could never justify it.
