From a logistics pov, what would that look like? A mass text notification would be more of a nuisance, by and large, and a published calendar wouldn't get to everyone. I could see a text service you could sign up for, though

Actually if you subscribed to it or read the petition you would see there are categories and they are inconsistently applied.
