My brother and I are planning on driving to DC for the 5th. We live in Kentucky, but we want Trump to be able to see us (if he's not golfing at his palace in Florida). Also, it will really piss off our MAGA parents. 😆
Good for you! I’m in WV (grew up in Ky.) and was planning to go to DC but then I heard there was a HANDS OFF protest locally (45 minutes away). Our MoC are absolutely ignoring their constituents so I think my presence here might be more useful….but I envy you! I figure we’ll all be making history‼️
That's great! Yeah, I don't think we've seen a MoC here in decades, at least not in this area of the state. There's a protest in Kentucky, too, but it's at least a three-hour drive, and I just thought I'd rather drive on down to DC this time.
I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests. If anyone wants a printable file, please message me : ) https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/
Please share with all organizers to advise folks to bring ear protection (it looks like foam ear plugs AND ear defenders could be a decent combo) just in case!!
Very creative, great for gatherings, meetings, etc.
If marching I prefer simple phrases, direct and to the point, larger black letters over white.
Make them easy to read and try to get people from outside the protest to do some thinking.
Tired of yelling at your 📱 like it’s gonna fix things? Good.
On April 5th, we stop scrolling and start showing up.
Because if you’re not at the protest, you’re basically the NPC in someone else’s story.
Be loud. Be seen. Resist.
History doesn’t remember the quiet ones—👀 you there.

"We want you to record video evidence in advance of your protest."
Do we *really* think this is a good idea in the current climate? Even if the poster is technically within the law, this is not going to end well for someone.
I see no reason why Musk should be allowed to cut away civil servants and essential departments of our government with no consequences to him. Getting the Tesla stock to go down is the only tool available to us. Musk must go! And Trump too!
Uh. Indivisible. I want to think you mean well, but there are plenty of ways to spread the word without encouraging people to provide authorities with evidence they were at a protest.
Especially with people getting kidnapped off the streets for protesting.
Because fascism and oligarchy must consistently be put back in the dirt. Because womens' lives matter. Because Black Lives matter. Because immigrants' lives matter. Because worker lives matter. Because LGBTQ+ lives matter. Because facts matter. Because climate change is real and devastating.
Because genocide is bad. Because religofascism is bad. Because rape is bad. Because abortion is Healthcare and is a human right that we fought and paid for. Because it is our civic duty to demand and create a free and fair world worth living in.
I want to wake up Congress that DOGE is sabotaging our health, our lives, our income, our comforts, our freedoms. Trump/Musk are Dismantling The safety net that keeps us healthy. I want the Republicants in Congress to realize that the citizens are pissed off and congress have to take action now!
My reason isn't fancy or particularly noble. It's that it's either protest and DO SOMETHING, or sit at home watching my entire support net unravel beneath me. That's it.
It would take a lengthy book but I'll start with a few:
Hands Off our veterans and all who support them. Hands Off Social Security, NOAA, FEMA, National Parks, Education Dept, FAA, CIA, FBI, DEA, ATF, HHS, Defense Dept, Global Media, Libraries/Museums, our Federal Judges. HANDS OFF OUR FREEDOMS!!
I want to participate but not sure what's being organized in my small town. What is step one for Salida CO.? Do we have a Indivisible here? I better get busy and find out!
Washington State. Find a rally near you. https://evergreenresistance.org and Seattle Indivisible are working together on an incredible event for April 5th.

Yep. I think there needs to be two things: 1) keep bringing messaging to boycott Amazon. 2) Buycott and advertise a competitor who is not corporate involved with maga
Sounds excellent. Seek out an up and coming company like Amazon or go to more Mom and Pop stores online or in the neighborhood. Break the addiction to those mega stores that stab their consumers in the back. Americans can show economic might.
Hopefully many of them are going to run for public office... the only way of changing things for the better politically is to run and replace the lawmakers that aren't doing their jobs (yes, we're looking at you GOP), as well as Dems that are too old and should make it their last term in office.
With no intent of hyperbole, it’s pretty much EVERYTHING happening currently that I’ll be protesting against. We are in a crisis and the GOP cabal is trying to permanently ensure they rule forever and marginalize all but their own.
