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.

      A weekend means that lots and lots of people who would get fired if they missed work to protest will get to protest.

          You can demand that and you should, but the reality right now is those workers do not have the right to take a day off of work to protest.

          And there is a disturbing thread I have seen lately on Lemmy where people suggest those workers should lose their job to protest because they have to suffer if they want to end their suffering apparently.

        I just wanna jump in and say good job with “Yes and.” It’s inclusive to make sure we’re all on the same side and doing everything we can to impact, even if we disagree on how. You’re awesome.

        I live abroad, and my resident country’s currency is weak compared to the dollar right now… but screw it. Where can I throw money that’s trustworthy?
