What is the Shutdown 315 Movement?

My friend, maybe edit the original post to include this? A lot of us remember how much support and visibility Occupy Wallstreet got and how ineffective it was due to lack of direction.

It's only my intuition, but I think it may be easier to get people onboard by listing demands/goals, even if they're only tentative.

With these kinds of things, we're asking people to do a lot of work. The lower we can make the initial barriers to entry, the more likely people are to consume enough info that they become more willing to put in effort. This means prioritizing headline information well, making graphics appealing, etc

All this said, I haven't organized this kind of stuff. I defer to those with demonstrable success in these things

Keep fighting the good fight <3
