One o'clock walkout is a daily action of hope and resistance, every day that you can, wherever you are, until we reach critical mass to exercise our collective power. It is designed to be manageable & meaningful so that people can participate from all over, and to accelerate the momentum building to a massive and sustained civil action of economic pressure, be it a general STRIKE or other means of shutting down the systems of oppression.

FROM THE WOMEN's MARCH ORGANIZERS:
On June 14, Donald Trump will honor himself with a four-mile military parade in our nation’s capitol. Trump’s tacky parade was inspired by dictators he idolizes, and will cost taxpayers nearly $100 million.

June 14 is our chance to reflect the absurdity of the MAGA regime and the clowns who lead it. To meet this moment, Women’s March will host community circuses nationwide—bold, creative actions that mirror the chaos MAGA has sown across the country. Together, we’ll set a national record for the most circuses held in a single day while we simultaneously refuse to celebrate a petty clown who desperately wants to be seen as strong. We won’t stop until we build the country we all deserve.

Our grassroots street circuses turn satire into resistance and reclaim the big tent for democracy.
