This is the first I've heard about this. I am shocked because while I am unable to attend I have been thinking that the way to stop Trump and his MAGI movement is for 15 million people to march on Washington and physically stop them. Of course, that seems like a pipe dream in the same way John and Yoko's War Is Over If You Want It was. How bad do enough people actually want it to put thier lives on the line. I really do not trust the Democrat establishment to do the right thing.

I still cannot virtually join. They should also have zoom as an alternative. Disappointing when you advertise a link that intermittently works. Ain't working for me.

We tried to attend virtually, but got a 'page not found' message. Tried several times but couldn't get it going...

Right, I keep clicking on the link in the @People Power United message to join virtually and it’s sending me back to the appβ€”am I missing something?

I signed up to attend virtually. The links send me into an endless loop that don’t work.

Ok Now we are talking...ACTION !!! So Here is my suggestion for this March. peaceful occupation. We need to get a lot done and have documents, receipts that we create there

What is currently stopping us from organizing a legal and peaceful occupation of Washington, D.C.? We should remember Occupy Wall Street; while they didn't finish the job, they gained the nation's attention. With the middle and lower classes forming a clear majority against a small number of wealthy elites, now is the time to act. It is time to move beyond one-day events like "No Kings" and organize a non-violent occupation of the capital with hundreds of thousands of people.

My specific suggestions for this "Rock the Boat" occupation are:

Β  - Public Prosecution: Publicly denounce and prosecute this regime on paper, countering their rhetoric against the left while maintaining a constant presence in the public eye.

Β  - Congressional Engagement: Bring in progressive activists from Congress to speak and maintain a core group of at least 100,000 attendees.

Β  - Bottom-Up Reconstruction: Use the time in D.C. to rebuild a society on paper that works from the bottom up, uniting economic, racial, multicultural, and social justice groups to repair the system.

Β  - Digital Integration: Utilize electronics and cell phones to allow nationwide participation.

Β  - Media Impact: Capture the daily news cycle to create a blueprint for the next American Revolution, making it impossible for the old corporate structure to remain in power.

Now is the time to act. I'm 76 and if this continues to grow I will get to DC. wE NEED AT LEAST 100,000 FOLKS some stay others leave ,new folks come. Then do the work above get it on paper bring in by cell phone millions from accross the usa
