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.
Is this bigger than just a single image? Any actual orgs or anything? Just the Newspunch guys and a few social media tags?
Listen to what? What are the demands?
Might be better off signing up here. They're trying to get commitments for a general strike.
They document working on narrowing their demands more specifically once they hit certain goals.
If this isn't going viral on mainstream social media, I fear there won't be much use to posting it here.
Everyone bickering in this thread needs to just repost this image somewhere and shut up. That's how these things spread, via small communities. The only reason I saw it was this post, the only reason someone else might learn about it is my post. Unless you already have a better idea, and are organizing and trying to promote it, the least you can do is try and spread the word. The only way we win is together, so either bring a better solution to the table or get in line and help us fight.
A 10 day general strike would get their attention but I doubt US voters have the stomach for it.

I mean, it's a Saturday. I'll already be doing nothing.
This kind of organization doesn’t really work, you cant just set a day without a strong organized backing
Also known as a general strike. All the best for you!
Man it's going to be great when all 50 of us get fired from our jobs.
Wake me up when normies are on board. I'm not fucking up my life for nothing.
Good luck, he would probably win another election today. Cant save a democracy where the electorate is stupid.
Ya know eveytime I see these I wonder, "how did the Arabs do it?" They actually did something in Egypt. We can't even agree to take the same day off.
I fear by mid March we'll already be screwed.
ITT: Losers whine about why they don't want to get off their ass to improve their lives.
We're all losing our jobs and becoming homeless if this shit continues
Hitting capitalists in the wallet is the only way to get them to change course.
Doesn’t matter what our ‘demands’ are or what they need to ‘listen to’ and we don’t need a perfectly written manifesto to protest these fucks destroying lives and our country’s support systems.
Don’t fall for the whiners saying it won’t do anything. If the wheels stop turning, even for a couple days, it will hurt the things they care about (money) and send a powerful message.
Well, that's a Saturday so I won't be doing anything anyway.
What are they protesting? Its completely vague about why.
Why would they not be able to ignore this? They're already beating their own country's economy with a stick. Something I think a lot of foreigners don't understand is that the US Federal Government doesn't own the US Industry, they police it.
Whats going to happen? They're going to lose like 0.25% tax revenue for the year and run out of funding for all the programs they run? OHWAIT, they're already not funding those programs.
I am late to this thread, and intrigued and on board with Shutdown 315.
Mostly, though, I want to say THANK YOU to @TokenBoomer for the removals on this page. When someone's trying to organize something, people popping in to say it's futile and pointless are simply assholes, and assholes are counterproductive for organizing.
