#US protest on Saturday, March 28 - #NoKings 3 – just released press video/advertisement.
[Just got this from a local Signal chat group.]It’s pretty good, definitely worth sharing. I hope that defenders of #Iran and #Palestine will be there, so I am tagging this for them.
i participated in the largest national no kings protest… and was basically used as a back drop for trumps birthday parade. a protest does not work unless it has leverage, and if the media is hostile to your cause… well there goes the leverage.
Maybe ask the French how to do a protest, then.
They too don’t have leverage, they make their leverage. They make sure they can’t be ignored and they go at it for months if they have to.
A single day protest is going to do so little that the Cheeto won’t even have to bother thinking about it.
You need to have a permanent protest in front of the Whitehouse, and congress and the equivalent state houses in every goddamn state in your country. Be there 24/7. Make yourself unignorable.
