For people who aren't in big cities or people who are in red states, these rallies and other actions can be lifesavers. If you think they don't matter, try viewing them from a different perspective.

You can argue about their political effectiveness but not their mental health effectiveness.
As of a couple days ago, we went on strike. A strike against MAGA.
Organizing offline means organizing LOCALLY. The bonds we build in our communities are FAR stronger than anything online.
#OrganizeOffline
That is a true statement
And necessary
Next confirmed Call to Action date: April 19th!! Why this date? It's the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution = our war against the tyrannical power of Kings!!
Please tell EVERYONE

red district in blue state
It matters.
Weather was cold and rainy.
#democracyisdying but we WILL bring it back!
Great Depression 2.0 is on the agenda.
Think of the meanest half of the dumbest half of your high school graduating class. That’s who MAGA is.
It might be fake?

We also had protests in St Charles, St Peter, O’Fallon, Brentwood and other areas around the St Louis area. It was fabulous energy and I was honored to be part of the nation wide event.

This is the culture of resistance. The next university or law firm forced by govt to choose between freedom and capitualtion will make that choice having seen what happened today.

So many much older people were out, it made me happy and sad at the same time.
Happy that they feel empowered to do something
Sad that we have too

"It was amazing. I was tearing up the entire time. It felt so affirming that so many people feel the same way."
That alone felt like progress.
Where is the live coverage of the national protest???
THEY ARE AGAINST US! THEY SUPPORT NOTHING, AND THEY STILL BENEFIT FROM ALL OF IT!
This x a billion!!!!!
There have been days I felt hopeless , feeling like little old me couldn’t do anything. Now I have more hope.
