Petition: do not prorogue Parliament (possibly this is too late in the strict sense, but as an expression of concern/intent/etc it's useful enough).

L & I took ourselves off to College Green yesterday evening, after a quick explanation of what 'suspending Parliament' ('prorogue' is a slightly absurd word and he is only 7) means and why it's a bad thing, with a quickly-drawn sign saying "SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY" and Johnson's name in a red crossed-out circle. Excellent design work that child.

I gather there's another London protest at noon on Saturday at Downing St.
