Why does everyone not see anything in the Women’s March? It was a massively effective recruiting drive. Indivisible got a lot of members from the Women’s March. Indivisible has been extremely effective against Trump during his first term. They’ve been organizing for ten years.

This is why the majority of people buying and donating bus tickets for the April 5th protest are all women.

I’m a millenial/Gen Z. I was really surprised to find out that I was one of the youngest in my protest group. A lot of people told me they were protesting for their grandkids. They also expressed regret that my generation would have to deal with the fallout of this.

Also, do we know that millennials are protesting less than other generations? My protests seem to be pretty age-diverse. They seem to match up with the generation percentages of the population at large. People might just be used to seeing mainly young people at protests.

You know I’m not talking about them.

People keep using the Nazi comparison. I really don’t think it’s helpful. All it does is prevent coalition building.

• People who vote for Kamala are Nazis!
• People who don’t vote for Kamala are Nazis!
• People who engage in cancel culture are Nazis!

A Nazi is such a strong label that it prevents people from wanting to work with each other against fascism.

I counted all them a while ago, but that was back when Alaska only had 6. There was 700 then, there must be a thousand now.

Edit: I counted them. As of today there are 900.

I legit laughed when the mods on the Reddit responded with:

“There are literally several hundred Tesla Takedown protests today.”

I mean yes… but also no. People are protesting, and we definitely are seeing growth. I believe we are on the right track. Even Erica Chenoweth seems to think so. The issue is that we aren’t to the level we need to be yet. Unfortunately, that’s going to take time.

We lack a lack of culture of mass protest. That along with transportation issues, infighting, and with many people in a state of shock. It’s also only been two months. No mass movement in the US has ever formed within that timeframe.

There’s a lot to be optimistic about though. I find it inspiring seeing all these groups organize resources and people for the April 5th protest. It’s a huge undertaking to move that many people there. Seeing the massive organizational effort behind it is inspiring and a good sign for the future.

I counted all the protests on Hands Off a few days ago and there were 700. There are more now.
