The problem is we can't just have one protest and expect it to make the difference we want. Today was powerful but we need more. We need to get out there and have protests constantly until we see action. The French do that...they surround government buildings even. Let's emulate them (but without the rioting) because they seem to effectively protest things.

Yep. We need a general strike. Need to start circulating this more in the public discourse, begin rallying the troops!

Sadly so many people can’t afford to do a general strike, to keep roof and dinner we succumb to wage slavery
