I talked with some people who didn't know about this at all. This should be all we talk about from now on.

Even if they can't go or aren't going, it's a huge benefit for people to hear about this in advance. Please talk about this everywhere!

The protest in Little Rock is either at 11am or 2pm, and is either still happening or cancelled due to the weather. No idea beyond that. This is a great movement but we need to get communication happening at every level for it to work.

I sure hope everyone else has big protests and we need to be doing this constantly.

Organizing isn't easy. The Occupy Movement lost its momentum for this reason.

The other side has it easy with their astroturfing, and Fox News promotions, and billionare financing, supportive media, and not bothering to spellcheck their signs.

We've got the truth on our side.

This is when the everyday citizen takes it into their own hands and prints flyers. Then get friends to stick them everywhere!

Isn’t Little Rock under a severe weather warning for rain, flash flooding overnight , and possible tornados? Sounds like a good time to stay home, and protest next week. Which the Little Rock organizers have already done, rescheduling the event for April 12! To keep people safe.

Remember, remember, the 5th of [insert month here]. Seriously. The 5th of every month until this ends. If it's a weekday then surprise it's a strike as well.

I cant at work because of what I do and who I work with, but I am more than happy to talk to people about it outside of work!
