After Sen. Brian Schatz on Tuesday night declared the nation in a” full-fledged constitutional crisis “~ ATAGEND due tothe firing of former FBI Director James Comey, desperate and frightened adherents seemed to him for advice on “what were doing”. March? Riot? Storm Congress? Hold an emergency protest?
Though it's lost some of the cool factor it enjoyed in the late' 90 s, MoveOn is still around and proved Wednesday that, with a little the assistance of like-minded groups, it could cause a ruckus if necessary, coordinating #SoundTheAlarm protests across the country to demand a special prosecutor to investigate collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Having already culturally appropriated the piata to bash President Trump, activists adopted another tradition for this emergency protest:
Its time to sound the alarm. Last night, Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, who was resulting a criminal investigation into Trumps possible collusion with Russia to sway the November election. This is a constitutional crisis.
Todays actions are a form of Cacerolazo, a protest that consists of a group of people constructing noise by banging pots, pans, and utensils that is popular in Latin American countries.
