The Kaplan protest leaders moved the start time of the protest to 8 p.m. to allow Sabbath observants to join the protest without violating Shabbat.

The protest began as opposition to the legal reform by Yariv Levin and Simcha Rothman, spread to other related and unrelated issues. It now includes mobilization and equality of the burden, coalition funds and looting of the coffers by the ultra-Orthodox parties, the Arnona Law, the occupation, LGBT rights and the war on violence against women.
