Stand Up Daily Does Not Mean Standing Up EVERY Day

TO CLARIFY: There seems to be some misunderstanding because of the title I chose for the website – the phrase Stand Up Daily may have people thinking the Stand Up strategy asks folks to stand up every day. Rather, it is meant to be about some Americans across the country standing up some days somewhere in America. It is not necessarily about any one person or any group standing up every day. My apologies for this misconception but I think I may be stuck with this language. If I could change the domain name, what would you suggest?

An example, Greta Thunberg has chosen Fridays for Youth Climate Strikes, other groups can pick different days of the week or maybe a Tuesday once a month, or on the full moon or at some annual event. What ever schedule or frequency a group would like.

With so many groups in the country it is likely that there could be many Americans standing up most days of the year, if not every day.

Imagine the buzz, the excitement, the hope it would create across America knowing that somewhere, every day, We-the-People are standing up for America dramatically and nonviolently, enough to NAG our do-nothing politicians to do their damn jobs without needing to riot in the streets (hopefully). Aho!
