Millions across the US rallied against Trump's authoritarian agenda in nationwide No Kings protests, featuring speeches, performances, and massive crowds.
Here’s an idea, at the next protest help people register to vote make sure you keep your papers in order. In case if the government makes an effort to stop people from voting you have papers ready.
Yes it is important that the legislation fails, but it is better to be ready for all eventualities. Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
From what I’ve seen this is already happening, along with other engagement drives like circulating petitions and recruiting for mutual aid or collecting aid donations. Those efforts can vary by location but it’s certainly not “just standing around with signs” like critics say.
I have not been to a protest in the US. Over here you don’t have to register to vote, so that wouldn’t be a thing to do at a protest, but it’s good to hear that they are doing that over there.
Some dude at the protest I attended had a petition signature sheet for ranked choice voting. He took time to calmly explain how RCV functioned to protestors who weren’t familiar with it. Wound up getting a lot of signatures once he brought up the costs of runoff elections on the taxpayer’s dime.
Gotta know how to speak to your audience

Yeah, and all of that was hugely a thing at the no kings protest I was at
I don’t believe in critics, just wished for everyone to be ready.
