If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

Hey all, I have a specific request this AM. There's an urgent situation involving this (which Martha references in the original description), and the total needs to be doubled. Martha's OOO so I don't want to bother her to change the amount, but I'm asking for your help. gofund.me/505857f2
