This is not enough!! Please know that a FULL COAST TO COAST STRIKE IS WHAT IS NEEDED TO STOP THIS WHITE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM REGIME!! EMERGENCY WORKER'S ONLY! PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER!!
Good luck organizing that without getting people to gather together in solidarity first. We need to build community to support people through something like that.
I have been hearing a lot of great songs and a hunger for more. I hope we have a repertoire of songs to sing. Imagine if all across the country every rally synchronizes and we sing the same song at the same time! a simple song, just a few lines, but new and relevant to the moment. it would help us feel connected and scare the pants out of them.
Why aren't millions of us counter-protesting directly on July 4th? It would be far more effective to dwarf the whitewashed Trump celebrations with millions of Americans demanding justice from the Pedo President.
We need ONE PRIORITY right now. Everything else should take a back seat. IMO we need to be working in Red States from now until November knocking on doors and trying to inform constituents of Southern states how much they're losing by voting again for MAGAs. It is simply self-destruction: our tax dollars (or our ever-growing debt) is only used to satisfy the greed of the plutocrats and technocrats while all social programs that benefit the South are being taken away. They need to put away their racism in favor of the reality of seeing that every program designed to help them is being demolished. They will gain nothing by voting for Republicans: no health care, no food stamps, no public schools, no repairs of road and infrastructure, no Medicaid, Medicare, no social programs, nothing. It's all going into the pockets of these gold-digger judges, state and national legislators, and particularly, our president. To save our country, they must vote Democratic, although the Democrats have a uphill battle ahead being run by old-timers and middle-of-the-roaders. It's time to broaden their umbrella and welcome everyone, especially the young..
I do not feel that the protesting are across the nation for June 27 is very clear on what it is about. It does not have a specific point that will draw more people to join the protest. It Is wishy-washy.
For this and other demonstrations, let's try to move beyond the same old, boring chants (as in "A slogan, exhausted, should never be repeated!). Here are a couple I propose:
Hey, hey, Donald Trump,
Tariffs and wars made prices jump!
Long Call and Response chant (bullhorn calls, crowd responds)
Why not the 14th of June instead of the 27th? The 24th is Flag Day, also Trump's 80th birthday, and one year since one of the No Kings protests. I think a massive demonstration, with all flags being held upside down as the distress symbol, and signs of all description in opposition to the amoral president and his toadies, would again convey the overwhelming revulsion America now has for Trump. His popularity has tanked to the level of his character, zilch. Let's give the world another example of our intense disapproval on June 14th.
Yes, we had a demonstration on the 14th, and are having another this Saturday, the 27th at 9:00 a.m. Our turnouts aren't large but enough of us are actively standing up for our freedoms and protecting our democracy.
Agree with St. Nicholas, protest is not enough. There needs to be massive voter registration drive focused on the states particularly affected by the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Websites of MAGA/republican legislators could be inundated with "Black Voters Matter" email messages. Using creative non-violent tactics we can throw sand in the gears, and make the machine grind to a halt.

Gratitude for your work. Count on me.

I’ll be marching. I resist authoritarianism.

I’m planning on celebrating our 250th anniversary of freedom with friends, family and other Boston Patriots just like I do every year!
This year I will also participate in the June 27th protest. So glad it’s being organized.
Woodie Guthrie said it best in 1944: “This land is your land. This land is my land…”
Thank you! I’m in!

This event on the 27th isn't getting enough promotion. Very few have heard about it ☹️. I do what I can 💙💪

Excellent idea!! Whatever date, it should be on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon for maximum participation.
Didn’t your community have something on the 14th or did?

Attending or hosting, not sure yet. Still need to get with my community and decide.
I'll be checking the Saint Louis Missouri area for the closest event to me.
