Please join me in the Women’s March Walking Out for America on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. at the San Juan County Courthouse. Join a short “walkout” (as in “strike”) from work, school or other commitments to say you oppose fascism and support democracy.

The Free America Walkout is how people withdraw consent when leaders break the law. It denies labor, money, and legitimacy—reminding any president that they govern only because people allow it. Non-compliance is how people stop cooperating with injustice before it becomes permanent.

Bring your favorite noisemaker — pots to bang, drums to beat, whistles to blow, or bells to ring. Let’s make some noise! On Jan.20, we walk out because democracy only survives when people defend it. Will you join us?

WALKOUT!!
