The Shutdown315 Movement started as a small group of individuals on a Signal group chat on the eve of January 18th, 2025; in the moments before Tiktok went dark. Since then it has grown into a decentralized national movement across the US, with some people requesting for the movement to go global. We have no formal leadership structure. We have participating people who are ambitious and ready to do what it takes to take care of their fellow Americans. We have individuals who step up and take action to meet the demands of the movement and our immediate communities. This movement soley relies on the direct action of all it’s participants.
