Oh my god IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED LIKE ALL OF THEM LEFT! turns out they adjusted their plan between yesterday and today to synchronize with the local high-school, I am SHOCKED
Ive never ever EVER seen coordination like this before from them. It was almost complete unity basically everyone walked out and they did it all at the same time all coordinated only by themselves I am feeling ecstatic right now holy fuck
I am do proud of them right now holy fuck I'm CRYING
Even the ones who I thought would just be doing this to get out of school had signs and stuff and marched off with everyone else instead of just bailing! I'm so proud of them...
~~I thought I had already given up but hearing the kids talk about this gave me the slightest bit of hope I guess, cause at the appointed time has come and gone and nothing happened I just feel absolutely fucking gutted~~
~~There is no hope, not even the bullshit liberal nonviolent protest kind, this country is a desolation~~
My partner works at a library, and some kids at a high school did a walkout protest. They came to the library and sent two kids in to politely ask if the group could use the bathroom there. Before the kids could all filter in and finish they got a call from the headquarters branch that "protests aren't allowed on library property". No one passed this message along to the kids
Edit: some cops were following the kids around, they hadn't messed with them at the time my partner talked to them (they asked) but I still wonder what they were up to.
