IF TRUMP CANCELS THE MIDTERMS, SHUT IT DOWN! NONVIOLENTLY!
No work, no school, no shopping for two weeks (or as much as you can)!
Our initial goal:
35,000 people signing our pledge in Southern Arizona. Research shows that 3.5% of a community taking ongoing nonviolent disruption can demand significant social change.
TAKE THE PLEDGE━AND ASK OTHERS TO SIGN!
If Trump cancels or significantly undermines the midterm elections, I will engage in “No work, No school, No shopping” and Daily protests, to the best of my ability, for as long as it takes, to force him and his billionaire allies to stop.
Can Trump cancel the midterms?

TUCSON SHUTDOWN
Like many other cities, Tucson will disrupt economic activity as part of the national shutdown. Tucson is represented in the national coalition planning the Shutdown. We will have a voice in the decision making process as to initiating the shutdown. There is a real danger that the big NGOs might hesitate to call for a shutdown even when one is necessary.
The grassroots will decide!
To volunteer or learn more, join our weekly Coordinating Committee meeting on Zoom every Sunday evening.
Steering Committee meets at 7:00 pm. General meeting begins at 7:30 pm.
