What is the Shutdown 315 Movement?

Edit: Because of the number of negative and discouraging comments that are counterproductive to the message of this post, I have decided to remove select comments that discourage organization. I apologize in advance if your comment is removed inadvertently.

I removed 32 comments.

I am late to this thread, and intrigued and on board with Shutdown 315.

Mostly, though, I want to say THANK YOU to @TokenBoomer for the removals on this page. When someone's trying to organize something, people popping in to say it's futile and pointless are simply assholes, and assholes are counterproductive for organizing.

I regret doing it. It goes against my ethos of allowing open discussions. Thanks for understanding why it was necessary.

You're entitled to disagree with both you and me (: but I'll continue thinking you've done the right thing.

Flat Earthers who show up at meetings of the Planetary Society should be shown the door.
