How is this helpful? She made good points about the mission statement and the organizers themselves that many people seem to be ignoring. Could the marketing for this have been better? Yes, but considering how quickly it was organized with the goal of hosting it on International Women’s Day, they did a pretty damn…

I love everything about this! I’m so happy to hear people felt their efforts were appreciated. It’s not perfect, but everyone seems to forget that this strike falls in line with International Women’s Day. That’s what it was meant to do. Moving it to a weekend wouldn’t change the situation because many people still…

I agree. I’ve seen some good ideas for ways to organize it and those ideas should be passed on to the movement so they can try to implement them for future events. I have one of my own I plan to email them. I also think the media needs to do a better job. It’s not just about the strike, it’s also about International…

I would too! I’ve decided to do some volunteer work to supplement my time, but I would chip in to pay for people to participate.

I need to look this up lol.

You just reminded me I need to cancel my Macy’s card! I have to pay that last bit and then I’m donezo.

I love that you call them Funklet! Also, I’ll take all of the above for 100.

Hmm, I’ve never seen this. Sounds like I need a Netflix night. Hope it’s up there.

Yeah, I’m planning to stop by my favorite college deli tomorrow. He was a campus security guard prior to opening his business so his staff (all immigrants. Screw the ban and the ICE raids!) made a point to look out for the students. He was always slipping us snacks or drinks, especially during the midterms and…

I know. It’s so unbelievably infuriating, but also depressing at the same time. This whole situation reminds me one of Martin Luther King’s sermons: the ‘Drum Major Instinct’, specifically this section:

Yeah, it’s one thing when they do that shit to themselves, but now they’re taking us all with them. I don’t wanna be on this sinking ship dammit.

I imagine it involves a lot of that brain fog you experience on little to know sleep. A better question is: Is that shit contagious? Seems like I’ve heard some people complain of a decrease in sense among people. Is it the water? Were the coal mines dumping the whole time?

I never understood that! If you’re against it, fine, fuck your hatred because it literally doesn’t affect you, but fine. But the weird place in the middle or 75% of the way? Makes no sense.

I know it’s just a label to diminish the purpose, but I still wonder if they would call for changes if this was Romneycare.

True, but it looks like there are some evening events too. Like the NYC one mentioned above, that doesn’t end until 8pm which is important info for women who have to work, but are willing to attend after 5 or 6pm. I don’t know why they keep focusing on only the strike. Check here for your area:

Shopping? Ugh! Who thought of that?

The thing is, there are several things going on tomorrow and I think the marketing on this has been poor. There are international women’s day events going on all over that aren’t related to a strike. There are seminars, happy hours events, marches, yoga classes, etc. Women’s March is all about the gathering, but…

My office is protesting together and management gave the okay for people to either work, take a half day or take a full day. Does that make me a paid protestor?!

The links in this article aren’t working for me, but the International Women’s Day has a list of events by country and city. Many of them are in the evening too so more people can participate. You don’t necessarily have to take the day off. For example, the 4pm rally in NYC mentioned above will turn into a March…
