You do not have to fill anything out, just find the address, and show up.

Bring water and snacks, wear a mask, and put your phone in a faraday bag if you can.

Posting this here due to how important it is. Sorry that it's off-topic, mods, but we need as many eyes on this as humanly possible right now.

We understand! Hopefully you can join in next time if there's one on a weekend.

Unfortunately some have it hidden, not sure of their motivation in doing that (to keep the police from knowing where it'll be?) but hopefully it doesn't dampen the turnout too much.

There's a short video on the No Kings site that explains what the protest is for.

We're protesting Trump and his use of authoritarian power against the will of the people. Such as:

• The kidnapping families off the street to deport them without due process (illegal)
• Illegally sending the National Guard and Marines to LA to stop peaceful protests against the will of the people and Governor
• Taking away Medicaid (our universal healthcare that only applies to low income people) from hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom may die without it
• Making ICE into what is effectively Brown Shirts
• Persecuting his political enemies, journalists, and lawyers, who dare stand against him

A successful protest would be that the Trump regime becomes too afraid that we will revolt if they keep pushing for an authoritarian dictatorship. We have already seen him begin to back down due to the backlash he has received.

but legally speaking, they’re doing their job and her notifying illegal immigrants about ICE is definitely illegal.

I'm sure it was illegal to alert Jews who were about to be rounded up by Gestapo, or to hide them in their house. It was also illegal to help slaves escape to the north via the underground railroad, but people who ignored those laws to instead act on their morals to do what's right are now regarded as heroic, and the ones who used the argument they were 'just following orders' are now seen as cowardly and vile scum, many of them were even executed for participating in horrific crimes against humanity, so that defense doesn't hold any water.

It's based on a John Lewis quote: "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

This was posted a couple days ago, I think it's the right way forward to keep the public on our side. https://50501.chat/post/322808

There is no need to be hostile toward someone who is clearly on our side. If they weren't they wouldn't mention the other abuses Walmart commits.

You absolutely do not have to fill that out. This is a decentralized movement and they'd be more than happy if you just showed up. I assume the RSVP is just to notify you if something changes like the location or maybe a cancellation of the event, but I'd just check the site one last time before you head out.

Thank you for joining us!

Added to the main posts. Thanks.

We don't allow that insult as it breaks rule #1. There are better words to use that do not insult an innocent group of people with its use.

If you edit your comment to a different insult, I won't need to remove it.

What's this from?

Solid recommendation!

That's pretty standard right-wing propaganda against the protests, and they've been making that claim since they started. It's intended for their base so they can easily dismiss how popular the protests have been by making it appear like a sham or democrat conspiracy, when in (their warped) reality, Trump is super popular so the only way these protest happen is if people are paid to show up.

They've made similar propaganda to explain the popularity and crowd sizes of Bernie's Anti Oligarchy rallies.

I do agree that it's less eye grabbing or punchy compared to the previous 'No Kings' protest, which was immediately understandable in comparison.
