18. It's easier to get media attention on a weekday, and the legislators will be at the Capitols to see us!

It's a spontaneous thing. The hope is to start more protests. It's at noon local time--to get people, including Capitol state employees, to come out during their lunch hours. Stop insulting these brave folks by saying they have their "heads up their ass." If you don't want to help them, then at least don't knock them.

You may have heard about it just 30 hours before, but people have been trying to get the word out for over a week. Here's a post on the Sacramento reddit page about it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Sacramento/s/7Yphe78xg5

That post answers many questions, such as:

Who is the sponsor? There’s no official organization behind this event. It was started by passionate, everyday Americans who believe in standing up for what’s right. Don’t wait for an established group to speak out—this is about individuals coming together to voice their dissent.
