We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

Yeah, and there's already people who keep consumption to a minimum. And I also hate being a downer but I think some of those are pretty big asks. People won't call out of work, they just won't. Not in a large enough number to make it matter.

But not spending any money? That could seriously take off. Just for a day? Not do something that has no negative consequences? Get everyone together doing something. Doesn't matter much what, just that it's a collective thing.

Maybe leave local restaurants/businesses alone? Idk. It just seems like that's an idea where people have less to do and a lot less to lose to participate so it could take off.
