Listen,
for folks who don’t know, I was a part of a small organizing team that led to a mass mobilization in 813 cities worldwide in 2019.I am not talking out of my ass.
You should be VERY VERY VERY careful in this environment about sharing flyers for events that identify NO organizer

Does nobody have a job here?
Call in sick. You’re not gonna get fired for missing one day.
If you are gonna get fired for that, this is literally the protest to stop that shit.
Tell me you’ve never worked for minimum wage by telling me you’ve never worked for minimum wage.
Tell me you’ve never lived in poverty with children depending on you by telling me you’ve never lived in poverty with children depending on you.
Not everyone lives in their state capitol. It’s a 10+ hour drive for some people. Take three days off? This protest is going to be low turnout.
Some things are more important.
This is a white people thing. Students and min wage workers in large cities can pull this off. America is full of people with hope and a 9-5 to.oay there ridiculous rent.
Yes, all those impoverished people in cities working minimum wage jobs that rely on every cent of their paycheck just to keep a roof over their kids’ heads and food in their bellies who will get fired for missing even a day of work for any reason can totally pull this off. Totally.
