How to Set Up a Protest
-
At the local level, we encourage participants to gather at their city or town halls for a one-hour sit-in at 12:00 PM (Local Time). These peaceful gatherings will feature local speakers, activists, community leaders, and workers, sharing their vision for a better future. This is a moment to raise our voices, share our concerns, and build momentum for lasting change.
A Unifying Conclusion
Each local event will conclude with the singing of “America the Beautiful,” a collective affirmation of the ideals we strive to uphold—justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
This is a day to stand together as Americans, regardless of political affiliation, race, or background. It is a day to remind our leaders that they serve the people—not corporations, not special interests, but the people.
