Overview
- Walkouts kicked off at 2 p.m. local time across cities in all 50 states, organized by Women’s March with partners including Indivisible and the ACLU.
- Organizers listed about 1,246 local events and roughly 43,000 RSVPs by Tuesday morning, with nearly 50,000 participants expected nationwide.
- The campaign urges people to leave work, school and commerce and declares "we will be ungovernable" as it pivots from mass marches to more disruptive tactics.
- Preliminary survey data shared with Axios found 34% of polled current or prospective participants say Americans may have to resort to violence to save the country.
- The White House dismissed the effort as based on "lies," after earlier threats to consider stronger measures following protests over the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
