The idea to use pictures of pancakes appears to have come from actress Shea Depmore, who posted a video on her TikTok and Twitter accounts on Wednesday instructing people to fill the hashtag with "syrupy goodness" to help make the hashtag useless for those who want to participate in the march this Saturday.
