DESCRIPTION:Tucson Shutdown\n\nPlease join Shutdown Trump Committee meetin
 g\, by Zoom\, on Sunday evening and weekly thereafter. Twenty-one people l
 aunched the Committee on 7/12. You will be given the zoom link after you s
 ign up. This meeting is for anyone who wants to volunteer.\n\nTrump has th
 reatened to cancel the mid-term elections. This would be a crucial step in
  completing his authoritarian takeover. The only thing that has been shown
  to reliably stop such a takeover is large-scale\, non-violent noncooperat
 ion. An historic coalition came together in St. Louis in late May to call 
 for exactly such a shutdown–if he does try to cancel the election. MayDa
 yStrong.org has 600 labor unions and community groups as members.  Seven r
 epresentatives from Tucson organizations went to St. Louis\, including Dem
 ocracy Unites Us\, Party for Socialism and Liberation\, Tucson Democratic 
 Socialists of American and the local African-heritage ministerial alliance
 \, although none has yet officially endorsed the plan. Nine cities represe
 nting 30% of the economy have already committed to disrupt their economies
  for two weeks in case he does try to cancel the elections\, so called “
 Tier 1” cities. Some of us in Tucson seek to make us a “Tier 2” city
 \, to support the national Shutdown by disrupting our local economy as muc
 h as possible\, at or above the scale of January 30th\, for as long as we 
 can.\n\nPlease join us as individuals or representing a group.
