If we’re going to effectively fight Trump and the rise of fascism, we have to act together, and show up in numbers!

You don’t need to sign up there or give any information, in fact, it’s better if you don’t. Just find the address, grab some snacks and water, a sign if you can make one, and show up.
If you have a printer, bring some union pamphlets to hand out and tell people about the General Strike. Spread the word if you can, share this image, and let’s stand up together in solidarity and make some Good Trouble!
That’s a dumb slogan.
It’s based on a John Lewis quote: “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”
Well, that makes more sense. I still don’t think it’s a good name for something that should be a bit more… pointed?
that pointed enough?
How about instead, you are a Fascist piece of shit so we’re going to kill you. I’m not really into the forgiving part
I do agree that it’s less eye grabbing or punchy compared to the previous ‘No Kings’ protest, which was immediately understandable in comparison.
I was down to keep going with that no kings thing. I wonder how much merchandise corporations will be selling next year for no Kings Day. Do you think target will have a T-shirt? ;-)
It’s been a new name for each one, I guess to appeal to different groups for different problems. The ‘Hands Off!’ one for stopping the dismantling of Social Security did succeed in getting massive attendance from older people, so it seems to be working.
Well, attendance… but nothing actually “worked”
Mass public protests are certainly more effective at shaping public opinion than quiet anger in your home.
