Goddam it, we already have secret police and concentration camps.
IT MUST STOP NOW
Every day of acquiescence makes an end to fascism more costly in lost freedom and LIVES.

About this event
Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We dont have to wait until its too late. We can stop this. But itll take all of usnot just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.
Thats why this summer, were launching One Million Risinga national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that cant be ignored. Youre invited to join usand lead.
Lets build a force bigger than fear and louder than hate. Lets get ready. Lets get organized. Lets stop Trump.

(53,406 posts)I went to my art supply store and decided to make a brand new template of foam core since the one I've used for 31 protests is getting dog-eared. My art looks like a tRump sign museum. Actually, two of my signs are in the Women's March museum in San Diego. They especially liked the wire hanger and the Joan Crawford reference for the pro-choice march.
I hope there is a huge turnout since it is on a Thursday evening. That could benefit some who normally can't attend weekend mass protests but it may also keep many from attending. We'll see.
I never listen to news reports' estimation of numbers. A few other people like me know how the number of events and the number of how many attended those events is always grossly underestimated.
No surprise there.....both parties control the media and that is one of the main problems for over 20 years. The corporate donors in both parties have given us team tRump. Our votes are useless as long as they continue to get more and more $$$$$ and power.
