Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

Also some protests get a lot of very specific coverage.
If there were tens of thousands on the streets it would be a different matter...
There will also be a protest outside of the Heritage Foundation.
Afraid I don’t have a link for that.
considering that fewer then 300 people showed up, and there were no easy to find, well spoken organizers for news crews, and probably nobody thought to tell the news media, I thought we got decent coverage
things would change
certainly local news is very responsive to reader complaints

Getting the message out is hard work
yesterday I was talking to my 28 yro daughter, who is very woke, and she had not heard of the standup for science thing
and if she , a lawyer who is pretty political, hadn't heard then roughly speaking no body heard

Today in Clark Park in Detroit in support of immigrants
I see a fair amount of Teslas in Ann Arbor and assume some of them are from when it was seen as a green choice (A2 loves sustainability). So this is big
Demonstrations were held across the state, including on the steps of the state capitol in Jefferson City.

Hint: organise a big protest march on Saturday April 19th, start date of American Revolution. Fitting, no?
(unless they’re right wing protest like the Tea Party - then it’s covered nonstop)

wish they had done a little less of the slogans, and a little more of the powerful interviews with people but overall great
