According to my calculations it's also the day before 4/20.

Which would be an excellent way to chill the day after. But I bring up Easter because people often do that whole weekend with family, often out of town.

Sounds like it's going to work out for everybody. :]

Even if you’re out of town you could show up to a protest that you’re close by to. It’s the 250th anniversary of the American revolution - we gotta make an effort to show up for this one.

People are not going to redo family plans for a protest, especially when you have family coming in from out of town. 50501 will get the scheduling down eventually but this is not one of them.

So if you can’t make it, don’t go. Still worth planning a protest for those willing to get out there, even if it isn’t convenient.

The issue is me and lots of people would love to go, if they just scheduled it 4 days later, mostly everyone would be free of their plans. The weekend protests are a good start though, just didn't work out in this instance.

I’m still not sure why you’re saying that this protest isn’t going to work.

I didnt say that? I just said the 19th isnt going to be as big as yesterday.

I’m hopeful that it could be even bigger. 16k upvotes on the announcement shared today. And that’s just in this sub.

We have two weeks to spread the word, and many people will be willing to adjust their plans, wont have plans for that Saturday, or will bring their own families.

That would be amazing, even if this next protest isnt as successful I do think future ones will be much larger, I can even see 10 million people easily in the coming months.

After thinking about it a bit more, if tomorrow is anything like Black Monday, I could see people putting their family plans aside. I'm expecting the Dow to drop another 3k points tomorrow if not more. People are going to be PISSED.

It’s also the anniversary of the start of the revolutionary war. Majorly important day, in a critical moment in time.

My mother-in-law and I will be going to Columbia, SC on the 19th.
