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.
While the full list of demands is still being added to, discussed, edited and submitted to a legal expert, some of our basic demands are as follows:
Protection and permanent guarantee of civil rights for all
Total government reform
Publicly funded health care
Adequate and accessible disability support and services
A permanent solution to Homelessness, hunger and the housing crisis
Respect and support for tribal Sovereignty and involvement with indigenous leadership for environmental action
Enhanced enforcement of constitutional rights
More power to american voters
I hope they get their full demands sorted out. A protest without immediate actionable legal demands is pretty doomed from the start. Especially one that encourages it’s protestors to give something up. Unless we can have a moment where we can see a politician sign something into law the end of the protest will be vague and mired in “negotiations” until people have had enough and decide they need to start making money again without anything of consequence being accomplished.

Then join the organization and help them. Liberals are so damn feckless, they can’t get out of their own way.

Trump is dissolving the Dept. of Education, and you’re worried about changes to government? /s

I’m in no way affiliated with #Shutdown 315. I’m just spreading awareness. The organization is on Bluesky, Reddit and substack if you’d like to get involved. The more input they get, the better they will be able to organize.
Whoops, missed the user change. I stand by my statement. I would hazard that valid criticisms don’t merit the bucket crabs (though I suppose my second comment could go with the first and be cleaner and more palatable), but I’m also not about to start backseat modding.
