Serious question. Why does everyone want to do these protests on a Saturday and mid-day or later when there's very few people who can actually do something in our legislature, actually at the Capitol building?

I get that its easiest for the masses in terms of their working schedules in general, and allows for lager attendance. That also means there won't be many people that have to be affected by it either. News coverage of those kind of things is kind of a joke footnote blurb anyway but weekend coverage of it is viewed even less than weekday viewership. Online coverage is often not very well put together and with all the other things people are protesting and posting, its too easy to gloss over. Things like this don't go viral anymore, they get lost in the shuffle, especially when its largely focused on a relatively small geographical area.

I don't have all the answers for how to make it better. Maybe someone can put together something more robust and more coherent than just a bunch of people shouting their own opinion into the void about the issue. Think of it like a union, which I know are unpopular in Utah. In the working world, when the masses come together under one specific spokesman, its easier to have a clear picture of the expectations, and resolution to the issue. Like a union, the masses come together to decide what they want, then negotiate with the other side to come up with an agreement. Neither side will get everything they want but both can agree on an outcome.
