I'm not the organizer, but my guess is it gives time to get the word out and gives people time to plan for it. I, like others were looking for ways we could reject what is happening. This is one event. Another is in February.
Distribute far and wide. You can even print it out and pass out flyers. This could definitely affect the market. I’m going to ask for the help of a statistician to see what our percentage of participation needs to be…
Love the enthusiasm, however this "shutdown" will not end how you think it will. Trump will literally just shrug, point at all the participants, and say "See? I'm not doing anything, it's all them!"
The sad reality is that peaceful protests mean jack shit. Only force is understood by humans.
History suggests you are incorrect. Poland, South Africa, Ireland all stand as recent examples where violence failed but subsequent peaceful protest succeeded in lifting the yoke of tyranny.
So this “shutdown” starts 03/15, and doesn’t end until when? Explain this to me b/c I don’t see how consumers can stop buying consumables indefinitely. What good is a one day shutdown?
I'm not the organizer. Do a search on Tik Tok and you will find a lot more information about the 315 shutdown. Or you can use this link, https://tiktok.com/@nolkaphanem
I am not the organizer for #shutdown315, just participating. But I did find this on Reddit if you need more info on the event or want to make suggestions.

Peaceful noncompliance, hit them in their wallets on a Saturday. Ides of March and a NY zip code.
We have to quit being the nice guys!
We have serious work to do.
