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.

Yeah, the petition has zero direct effect since it's petitioning parliament (which can't stop itself from being prorogued), but IMHO significant effect in terms of showing numbers opposed.
