My 73 year old mom will be there. She has stage 4 breast cancer and protesting the project 2025 agenda is so important to her (someone who had been a republican for her whole life until Trump and goes to church every sunday) that she is going down to the State House to protest

Why do they do protests like this in the middle of a weekday when most people are at work?

I think plenty of people care, but a lot of people don’t expect much resistance in such a red area.

I’m glad that people are starting to form networks in case things get much worse. It will be important depending on how crazy Republicazi’s are willing to get.

People who think protest should only take place when it its convenient for people to attend are delusional. It also doesn't matter if there are 50 or 5K. The point is that we are organizing, we can fight this. There are way more of "us" then "them".

Don’t be discouraged just because we’re a red state. When we stand together there’s more of us than they realize.

Be ready for the local tv news and social media echo chambers to willfully misinterpret your unfocused message and to belittle your intentions a la Occupy Wall Street.

Edit: also expect false flag agitators among the crowd engaging in vandalism on your behalf.

Good for people to form networks and new relationships. Sad that the current state and federal administration as well as oligarchs seem to not care about or even affected by peaceful and non-violent protesting.

As far as I can tell there are no organizers taking the lead on this. Protests are very different from matches and rallies. They need to be organized and everyone needs a plan.

Know where you're parked, know how to make a quick escape, stay away from the road, use your common sense and situational awareness.

Remember your rights too. https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights

Take water, first aid, and an oven mitt. If they throw tear gas, throw that shit right back 🖕🏼

I'm worried that these protests are all Trump needs to whine "marshul law!"
