“One year into Trump’s second regime, we face an escalating fascist threat: ICE raids on our communities, troops occupying our cities, families torn apart, attacks on our trans siblings, mass surveillance, and terror used to keep us silent. It is time for our communities to escalate as well.”
“On January 20 at 2 PM local time, we will walk out of work, school, and commerce. We will withhold our labor, our participation, and our consent. A free America begins the moment we refuse to cooperate. This is not a request. This is a rupture. This is a protest and a promise. In the face of fascism, we will be ungovernable,” says the call to action at the Free America Walkout website.
The “local time” part is kinda… Just feels like it might reduce the sense of scale if it’s not happening nationwide all at the same time, right? Maybe there’s an argument on the other side, that doing it six times (gotta include Alaska and Hawaii) is better than one that may run during Denver’s lunch break.
