View submission: Let’s Talk About the February 5th Protests
I'm sorry and no offense, but I really don't give a fuck about what "established groups" like Move On have to say. I don't really care about a bunch of libs who are professional "activists". They can join, great, but these groups don't have the courage to do anything substantial, which is why we are here in the first place.
We don't need the same group of liberal professional class "activists" incorrectly policing protests and telling everyone they're wrong for not following the state mandated "protest" rules.
It's time we moved from these "professional" activists who run away anytime shit gets real, whose real job is to keep the status quo in a way that serves the ruling class ideology.

You need people who aren’t going to get you arrested. Not having a permit for what is intended to be a large scale protest is a good way to get arrested.
Look for local orgs if that’s more your thing. I like Jews for Racial and Economic Justice a whole lot in NYC. Make The Road and RAICES do great work around the country for immigrant justice. The point here is that if you have never been involved in protest or community organizing, you are likely to do more harm than good even with the best of intentions by striking out on your own.
