In a grass-roots effort to kick off a national movement, organizers encouraged those opposed to President Trump’s actions on immigration, transgender rights and more to gather at state capitals and city halls.
It seems to be very short notice. I know I didn’t hear about it until Sunday or Monday and didn’t see anything for my state until Tuesday, the day before.
It was middle of the day, middle of the week. Many of the people who might be motivated to attend are also motivated to be employed. It was also one and done.
The purpose of the protest seemed… diffuse? “We don’t like Trump/Musk/Trusk!”
Compare with for example the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Planned well in advance to get the word out, specific in its aims, lasted for months.

Ok so are there any big protests planned, on a Sunday, with enough time to prepare?
Not that I know of.
