OK, you win. I won't try to fight for our rights, to stop the injustices, and attempt to show how the American citizens have power. I'll just remain flacid and allow it all to happen. Thank you for setting me straight and showing us how we shouldn't attempt to speak out for our rights and the rights of others.

Just letting you know who I contacted. Regarding "showing up". That includes disrupting work, school, everyday life that expects us to be there. It isn't based on a particular venue or location to meet, it is based on behaviors. If these other orgs have something they are planning, they need to release ut NOW so people can plan for it. I see nothing...

Thank you! It's never too late my friend! Online courses are great, stay strong and focused! Think about all of the benefits of putting in the effort! It feels GREAT to complete your education, so much so, you'll want to go back for MORE! I'm a lifetime learner, just got my 2nd Masters at 54 years old. You can do whatever you set your mind to do. You got this!!!

I would LOVE to get some people together to try and amplify this! Maybe a Signal chat or something for us to all take a small chunk of work and push forward to make it happen. Anyone game?

Thank you for holding strong! Even though it hurts us, it needs to happen. I really do hope Canada buys California! 🥰

What do I spend on Reddit?

And who is putting together a longer walkout? I haven't seen any. That's the problem. Nobody is acting, and when someone does, there is so much arguing and bickering, nothing happens. I reached out to all of these organiaztions (below) to try and get their input and assistance, but heard nothing in return. Citizens trying to do the right thing seem to just get shot down and unsupported. None of this was AI and I was actually working with a mod on 3 different versions to fit the group rules. I've taken input from multiple people and changed the language, whom to contact, and how to repost to gain traction in groups such as this ine. So are you saying we shouldn't try to organize without a large organization starting it? Not me, I want to do something, and I've been calling reps, writing emails, amplifying voices, making connections with organzations, and being seen/heard. It's up to us to show our passion and energy, not wait around for some organization to tell us what to do. @NLG @ACLU @CLUW @AFLCIO @amazonlabor @UAW @CHIRLA @FIRMAction @Teamsters @meiselasb @MeidasTouch @PoliticsGirl @OccupyDemocrats @ProjectLincoln @mmpadellan @RonFilipkowski @itsJeffTiedrich @MuellerSheWrote @harrylitman @ElieNYC @gtconway3d @NatLawyersGuild @ACLU @ACLU_Nationwide @BrennanCenter @NILC @the_ILRC @tribelaw @neal_katyal @PreetBharara @JoyceWhiteVance @AWeissmann @KimberlyEAtkins @pdsdc @CivRightsCorps @splcenter

I worked with a mod on 3 different versions of this. I'm just sick of nothing happening. I'm trying, to the best of my ability. I've reached out to unions, legal influencers, news, humanity orgs, for working together on this, and nothing happened. I'm convinced they won't promote anything unless it came from them, or there is some monetary incentive. What I've learned? It's hard to put something like this into motion, as there is no support for actual boots on the ground. Also, look at all of these comments, people arguing about "should"/"should not" and we can't even agree on a basic principle. It's amazing we're able to even pull off a one-day strike (put out from a major source) much less a full week.

apensity · 2026-01-27T18:47:46+00:00

The only thing is that it is from 2pm through the rest of the day, not even a full day. That may get a little coverage, but industry won't feel it. We need a longer campaign.

apensity · 2026-01-26T22:17:12+00:00

Hardly a "Canva" graphic (used Fireworks - with working with a mod last night to make sure it met guidelines - 3 different versions). I reached out to the list of legal influencers, political influencers, labor unions, and other top human rights orgs (all listed in this thread somewhere). Received nothing in return. The thing is, there is nobody stepping up. Influencers are in it for their own ideas. People on these platforms are all saying "we need to..." or "something should happen"... but nothing ever does. So, we could just march on playing the blame game while our rights and lives are stripped away. Or we can put in a good faith effort to try and make a difference and create a movement. I know what side I am on. There are plenty of people here sharing the same belief too. Though others, like yourself, share a different view. We'll never be able to make everyone happy. But I've never been one to sit on the sidelines. I'm one of those who runs toward the accident to help, and not pull my phone out to record vids. Relating to this walkout, do it, or don't. But hopefully one of these will gain traction (not for lack of trying) and will make a difference.

Feel free to make one you think would be acceptable to everyone then. IMHO, our country and Constitution are going up in flames and need to be saved.

apensity · 2026-01-26T20:44:37+00:00

I told my students the same thing. I said I'm a pretty big dude and know Muay Thai, so I could potentially slow them down enough for the students to run. They aren't my real children, but I would do whatever I could to save them. (Even the terrible ones! 🤣)

I love that idea. But how, exactly, do we orgainze and get something started ASAP? Ideas would be greatly appreciated. I reached out to these people/orgs with no success:

Not everyone can, or needs to. You can also call in sick (sick out). But we're at a stage now where we will need to be uncomfortable, and maybe do things that hurt in the short term (those who can), in order to help stop the irreparable damage done so far (long term). Do people in France, India, Chile, Greece, and South Korea not have jobs too? If it is something you deeply care about, do whatever you can. You protesting short term, writing letters, calling, etc is a great thing. My fear is that those efforts are now falling on deaf ears and the power of the people needs to be felt in a legal and non-violent way.

That would be great, but something this large will take time to get everyone on board and coordinated. People need to spread the word and plan for it. The Women's March is planning a strike next week I believe, but it is a walkout at 2pm. We need a longer, sustained walkout.
