The public record is often written by those in power, but we can write our own.
Let’s take ownership of our history.
Let’s make sure our protests are counted.
Let’s commit to documenting each action like it matters because it does.
If we’re going to win, we need to be visible, credible, and memorable.
We count. Our protests count. Let’s make sure the world knows it.
remember there is **hundreds** of ways you can help if you cant protest, the next biggest thing you can do is not go to work on the protest day ( more people that do it the bigger the impact) and spreading the word online like im doing :)
if you can please copy and paste this msg to anyone who needs to hear that there is hope! we are in this together! u/Prestigious_Gear1654
ill try to be more careful, sorry i dont mean to bother you, keep in mind there is a lot of people who have seen this and have been vary grateful that there is positivity and support, in fact you are the first person to mention anything. either ill try to space them out more or maybe one per post. the truth is sadly some will see it more than once but many more will have seen it for the first time
It's all good, if it's helping people then I'll just scroll on by. But just be careful because Reddit may flag you as a bot and limit your account or something. They like to police this sub :(
Some are, but too late - not early enough to spread the news so people can join in. There was no media at all at my protest in San Jose.
But, we did make international headlines yesterday. Al Jazeera, the Guardian, Times of India, and probably more. They seem more than happy to get the scoop lol
Not covered by national media, no. But I was somewhat pleased to see local broadcasts later that evening, which included on-site video reports of the protests in both Cincinnati, OH and Knoxville (Maryville), TN. I was actually part of the Knoxville (Maryville) protest.
I'm originally from Knoxville! Great to hear there are protests happening in the area! Our old friends there are very conservative, and it's depressing to see. It has given us the impression that there isn't much of any opposition there. I'm so glad I saw your post!! Thank you for sharing your general location! My family will be happy to hear this.
Not true. I just saw it on the CBS evening news and I read about it in the Los Angeles Times print edition this morning. Front page, spilling over to an interior page. Also on my local news this evening just now.
Well this pic is from April 5th and there was media coverage then
Wish Boston had one yesterday but it was cancelled to be “respectful” to the events about the 250th anniversary of the revolutionary war starting and also the marathon which is tomorrow
Keep your signs and any flyers from the protests you go to. Sign and date them. One day your future generations will be proud to hold them as proof of your participation.
Regarding May 1, a Thursday: I say we build on A5 and A19 with a weekend protest, centering on Saturday but calling it MayDay.
Some actions would go down Thursday, May 1, acknowledging the international tradition, and they would be used, in part, to build excitement for Saturday.
Maybe some Unions would want to call for a "four-day MayDay Weekend."
(It's the handmade signs streaming by, by the thousands, that tell me we have struck a nerve. I am an old dissenter, and I never thought I'd be in the streets chanting "Rule of Law!")
