Call to Action Does everyone have a protest to go to at 9/1?
In just about 2 days the next protests 50501 and many other orgs are organising will happen, pretty much all over the US.
I remember many comments from last time where people said they didn't know about it, so let's prevent this from happening again! :)
Write into the comments if you already have a protest to go to or if you still don't know where to go.
I also warmly recommend

And don't sleep on the march from Philly to DC starting 9/6

Two. I just got a colonial flag to carry. Just like we had the last time some tyrant sent troops into our cities.

The San Diego protest is scheduled only for 2 hours. Most people don’t wanna give up their plans and maybe wanna just “sneak a little protest in” where it’s convenient for them. This isn’t helping anything at all. Not even with unity.

Hm. I share your frustration. I would absolutely feel the same way. Especially with a "once a month" schedule.
I would still go and try to find some people who think the same.
If you get to know some people, ideally get some phone numbers, you (the small new group of disgruntled protest goers) might be the ones organising the next protest.Best of luck!

Condensing the protest into 2 hours maximizes the visibility of the turnout, though. Rather than people filtering in and out throughout the day, you've got nearly everyone present at around the same time. We want to see large numbers of people right now.
And you're making some big assumptions that I don't think are fair. Not everyone has the ability to spend an entire day, or even a big part of the day, at a protest. People have jobs - not everyone gets the day off. People have caregiving responsibilities for children, elderly parents, etc. - and those caregiving responsibilities disproportionately fall on women. I'm sorry that you don't think these protests are helping anything at all, but I don't get the need for gatekeeping on which forms of protests do and don't "count."

Jeez Louis. I see in my area there are protests for workers over billionaires. Seriously, without a functioning democracy, we get nothing else that we demand. The only thing to protest right now is against Trump's takeover of the US. What even are people thinking?

u/amyphetamine 1d ago
The billionaires are complicit, if not the driving force, in Trump's takeover. Workers over Billionaires is very much an anti-Trump movement.
