Headline: NATIONAL SHUTDOWN—FRI. JANUARY 30 | Nationalshutdown

What?
The National Shutdown scheduled for Friday, January 30, brings together a broad coalition of organizations and individuals across the United States to coordinate a mass action for social and political change.
So What?
This matters because it demonstrates the growing power of grassroots organizing and collective action to challenge entrenched systems, amplify marginalized voices, and demand accountability from those in power.
Now What?
Watch for turnout numbers, government and media responses, and the emergence of new alliances or policy demands; for context, see The Nation: The History of General Strikes and Democracy Now: Protest Coverage.
