    This is way too obscure. Most people would need more time than this to plan I imagine. I’m only hearing about this today after being tuned into politics for months and I’d only realisticly be able to participate if I heard about this 2 weeks ago.

      Yeah, true that. I’ve been hearing about a lot of things like this more or less the day of, which isn’t too convenient most of the time.

      If it makes a difference, it seems likely to me that the protests in DC will keep happening on an ongoing basis until something happens to disperse them.

      Yeah, I only found out two days ago. Unions usually get the word out weeks in advance for a strike, and that’s for people that are necessarily engaged in protesting those in power and (currently) have the protections to do so.

      I’m not saying people shouldn’t try to go, but the expectation for turnout should be tempered accordingly.

      Hopefully the next one gives people a lot more advanced notice.
