MAIN UPDATE:
Looks like, if Rosenstein is going to be fired, it won’t happen today.
TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw is saying no protests yet. Use their status link — here — for their updates. Current:
UPDATE, 9/24, 12:43 PM EDT
-- The news about Rod Rosenstein’s status as Deputy Attorney General is very fluid. There are conflicting reports on whether he remains in his position overseeing the Mueller investigation or has been fired. The
Nobody Is Above the Law network is on high alert -- but we’re NOT activating national protests as of now.
However, I suggest (as suggested in comments by annieli):
Because that lets them know how strong the public will is for continuing the investigation.
Suggest DEMANDING that they legislate to prevent Trump from stopping it. Remember when McConnell shot that down because it “wasn’t necessary”? Tell them that with Trump’s erratic behaviour worsening, IT IS NECESSARY.
Daily Beast says Trump’s lawyers have a plan for after Rosenstein is fired.

OP:
Because justice doesn’t get more obstructed than this.
However, Move On and a group of allied organizations have had a plan in place for months, and probably a good many people reading this on Daily Kos at least have already signed on.
For those who have not:
act.moveon.org/...
THE PLAN:
act.moveon.org/...?
WHERE AND WHEN
Here’s the plan for when we would call for protests:
Rallies will begin just hours after national events are triggered:
-
- If actions are triggered BEFORE 2 p.m. local time —> events will begin @ 5 p.m. local time.
- If actions are triggered AFTER 2 p.m. local time —> events will begin @ noon local time the following day.
* This is the general plan—please confirm details on your event page, as individual hosts may tailor their events to their local plan.*
Read the whole page however as there is much more.
Per Ronin83 in another call-to-action diary, since deleted:
It’s Go Time
If you’ve never gone to a protest before and never will again, go to this one: the very foundation of constitutional democracy — that we are a nation of laws and not of men — disintegrates if the POTUS can unilaterally end an investigation into his own wrongdoing.
This needs to be a huge, nationwide demonstration that Americans WILL NOT submit to dictatorship.
I just wanted to remind everyone who, like me, may have signed up months ago to double check their local event details, and encourage everyone who possibly can to sign up for their local event. Some local events are not following “The Plan” exactly, which is why it’s important to confirm with your local event host.
