Mass Human Chain Demonstration to Save Our Democracy
What if the millions of people who are horrified by the election of Donald Trump got together for the biggest demonstration in human history?
In 1986, 6.5 million people formed a human chain for charity in Hands Across America, and in 1989, about 2 million people joined hands across Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia to demand their freedom from the Soviet Union.
What if we were to organize another such human chain -- the biggest in world history-- and stand together across America, in the millions, for the soul of our democracy?

Why is this important?
I've started a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/biggestdemoinworld/ to promote interest in organizing a mass human chain event. Some ideas that members of the Biggest Demonstration in World History have already come up with:
*Not just one human chain but many human chains in cities, towns, neighborhoods, all occurring simultaneously
*Larger human chains around symbolically important sites or around sanctuary cities
*Hold the event on or near the Fourth of July
The basic idea is for a "big tent" event that would unite protestors into one huge demonstration simultaneously occurring in multiple locations.
Please share this petition with people or groups you think could get this event off the ground!
