1969 was my freshman year in highschool. Many students marched out of class to the nearby park to protest to make Martin Luther King Jr. birthday a national holiday. My first protest.
If we don’t Stand Up for America NOW, we may not have another opportunity to save one piece of freedom or democracy. We, the People have tremendous Power when we Unite and gather for the common good of our country. This isn’t a time to let fear or dollars dissolve you. This is a time to grab the hands of your friends, pool your dollars and make your way to D.C. as a Senior citizen, I have protested many wrongs in America and at every protest, we made our mark and moved forward. This is the time to choose what kind of government you want to govern you and your family and your choices are Democracy or Autocracy and there are no other choices. If you want your kids educated in quality public schools, March. If you want to own your own body, March. If you want billionaires taxed like you are, March. If you live in rural America and want opportunities to thrive again, March. If you are a disgruntled and misled farmer whose property is being eyed by foreigners, March. If you are a scientist whose research dollars have stopped, March. If you are a fired federal employee who got fired for no reason whatsoever, March. If you are a licensed doctor or nurse who can’t proceed forward in medicine, March. If you are a parent whose kids are being denied medical care, March. If you depend on SNAP and are working two or three jobs to make ends meet, March. Yes, We Can. United we can remove this regime and rebuild our country.
There needs to be some activity and action for local communities all over the country on November 22. Too many of us can’t get to DC, but we can certainly do things in our own communities at the same time.
I’d love to see some ideas for how we can make noise at a local level.
There is information in the article to do just that! Towards the end, there are links to Discord, Reddit, Facebook & Tik Tok with explanations of the role each one plays. This entire article is fantastic! Stories of historical protests & the net result of them. It’s extremely well written & provides every piece of necessary info for each of us to participate at the level we are able to. Thank you, 50501 for all the hard work everyone within the organization did to make the protests happen & for now providing the gateway to the next step! You are each greatly appreciated!
And what do you have planned for actions IN each of the States on November 22nd, for the majority of folks who can't afford to just take off - from job security (can't take time off without losing you job), to actually having the luxury money for traveling,, to being disabled, to having kid and disabled and elder care responsibilities, to every other cost and difficulty blocking the average person from [traveling across the country, paying for housing and food, and traveling back]? If you don't plan for that, you're literally disenfranchising millions, and so turning them off the movement.
Interested in local events on 11/22. Am organizing here in my town, and partnering with other local progressive and Indivisible organizations here. Please provide details so we can build the protests locally as well.
I tried to watch this but the audio feed was cutting in and out. It was impossible to follow, and closed captions couldn’t be read with the graphics. Will the salient points about what is next be written and made available? Or a transcript, perhaps?
There are three types of Americans: those who believe in democracy. The Americans who are prepared to follow a false idol and are happy as long as it happens to others. Finally, those Americans who don't care because they believe they will not be affected, whatever happens.
I just signed up and there are already about 1 million and a half people signed on for this virtual call. We need to make this the biggest DC protest in history. Also don’t forget about this rally
I was heartbroken to miss this Tuesday call after having registered. I never received the promised link by email. 😢 When on the night I was unable to sign up again(and having checked my spam file), I was on the Indivisible website waiting for the call to begin and instead was shunted off to the livestream recording of the No Kings 2 Washington recording. Sigh. Maybe I am too old for this technology.

Incredible! Thank you for continuing to show up for the people!
I was in 7th grade, I believe. I graduated from highschool
I graduated from highschool in 1975.

Have you considered literally encircling, marching around the Capitol building?
Much like the walls of Jericho, make this Regime come tumbling down.

Some people don’t use any of those platforms.
There has to be old fashioned neighborhood action and organizers.
That’s very true! The info in the links is about doing just that & more. There are a lot of options about what to do to reach people.

An orange, tubulent mound
Shambles about Capitol town:
The dummies all gape
While Liberty, a'rape,
Is burned in pursuit of a crown

General Strike paired with announcements from blue states that they refuse to remit federal funds.

Strike!
Do not forget 11/5 demo by Refuse Fascism in Washington DC. More details on refusefascism.org.
I wish we could arrange a week of not seeing Trump's face or hearing his voice.

Is there a way to access a replay of the Mass Call?
