Terrible date. Make it a weekday.

We protested Wednesday, and people complained that it wasn’t a weekend. I’m beginning to think some people don’t think there’s ever a good time to protest.

If this is supposed to be a shutdown that gets attention then it needs to be on a day where it would be noticed. A significant percentage of people are already off work, at home, and not shopping on Saturday. It's silly to pick that date just because it's the Ides of March.
