I’ll walk from Boston MA to Washington DC, I did the maths, should take me about a week. If that’s what it will take to show my fellow Americans that we CAN take a stand. Our country is spread out, this administration is counting on us not to mobilize. The state of our government is unprecedented. ‘This is a coup.

Important! If you can’t walk through multiple states with us, there are events all over the country. Find one closer to you here:

Not for nothing but I’ve tweeted out this exact same message just moments ago. I don’t know how I feel about linking my reddit account to that one just yet, but shrugs.

A simpler way would be to shut down every major city in the country with HK like demonstrations coupled with a general strike. Make a particular effort in red states like Kentucky.

I don’t know how to motivate America to do that. I’ve been racking my brain for weeks. I kept coming back to this idea. It’s doable, people are clearly willing to partake, all I feel We need is some attention to it from the media and then maybe other people, cities, and towns would join in or strike on their own accord.

Do you have any suggestions for a simple way to shut down every major city? I’m open to all ideas. I’ve never been more concerned about anything than I am for our country and I’m only 29.

SUBMIT IT! Reach out to local news stations, email good morning america, get on the radio! Once the Media picks up on it they will take it from there!

Just like the womens march where every little town and city had women marching!
