View submission: Let’s Talk About the February 5th Protests
Yeah it’s bizarre. And the defensiveness on this sub isn’t helping at all.
I get that people want to do something. Indivisible has a massive call last night and was telling people to contact their representative and physically go to district offices. Me and a few friends are planning to go together for Gillibrand’s district office.
People have been doing this work. I wish people would take this enthusiasm and look for folks who maybe have expertise to share instead of trying to reinvent the wheel here.

I just think the organizers behind this are clearly new to this whole thing. Anyone who has experience with protesting such as yourself and others, your advice is valued, *a lot*. At least, it should be. I hope the organizers behind this are receptive to feedback.

Are you going to Gillibrand’s office on LI? Can you PM me details as I’d like to join you.

Fair and valuable advice in this thread. I was on the indivisible call and was waiting to hear any official endorsement. I heard once in the call that 50501 is real (not trying to put words or mislead, it’s just what I heard but was a really brief mention).
Also in the indivisible call, they called for a protest at the treasury on Tuesday in DC - that also seemed quick. So is it maybe that we’re all just trying to figure out and move quickly? Honest thoughts, I appreciate the discussion.
Last thought/question: does anyone know if indivisible or move on has directly reached out to anyone leading their states to help facilitate ? They mentioned they want to know when people are trying to organize so they can help bring infrastructure
