I'm there. But I think you should emphasize the need.... The absolute necessity that this be peaceful. Every time somebody sets a car on fire etc they create a MAGA ad for the next election cycle. People or groups coming to be violent or belligerent should not be tolerated by 50501. Also, let's carry American flags, not the flags of foreign nations. Let's show that we are patriotic and avoid feeding into MAGA propaganda about foreign Invaders.
The situation in L.A. was overblown by the national news and the Insurrectionist In Chief. Sending in the troops was unnecessary and stoked more violence. The criminals torching vehicles and destroying property are being identified, arrested, and prosecuted. LAPD is the best trained force in the country, and they know how to handle situations that get out of control and vviolent. Also, the mobs happened surrounding the downtown L.A. court house, and a few areas of the city that are predominantly Hispanic and where ICE was conducting their snatch and grabs of innocent people (not criminals). That said, the Insurrectionist In Chief has ulterior and insidious motives to take over California, but we are not going to allow CA to fall under dictatorship. If CA falls, the rest of you will fall also.
It is recommended to sit down peacefully together by the millions! This will show the world that Angelinos are not violent people and it gives 0 reasons for the military or police to have any excuse to arrest or use as excuse to install police state in California.
We do not recommend the sit down method that is floating around. There are many reasons this could be dangerous. One reason being that tear gas is more condense near the ground.
May I suggest that we all bring a dozen flowers with us. When we see “the other” we humanize ourselves and them by smiling and handing them a flower. We are humans who can see the eyes of another and know that they too are human. T-$rump can’t take that away from us.
I think its vital that we give trump no opportunity to present us to the world and to his base as violent. Singing and dancing so much better than screaming and throwing things
The people doing violence in L.A. were interlopers and opportunists. The real protesting was peaceful. The Dictator In Chief sending in the troops enflamed the situation and created the chaos. LAPD and CHP did not need that "help."
Watch out for instigators! People hiding their faces and what they're carrying. Don't let them infiltrate peaceful protests! Don't let them hide behind you while lobbing things at police. Watch what's going on in LA...
Yes, there are rumors that ProudBs will try to infiltrate the protests and instigate in order to cause confrontation with police. I’ve also read on various platforms that some alt-righters will be there too. Please, everyone stay safe.
I can't believe this is the state of our country. All the events I have been to have been peaceful. It just blows my mind that there are still people on the other side. It's heartbreaking.
Democrats Abroad are onboard!

Go to rally’s everywhere but stay away from the great military parade. Find other ways to honor our military.
We’re doing it in Florida also. And we are ready to go. No Kings, protect our Democracy!!!!
this country is a constitutional republic not a democracy. 🤡
Yes…aware of that. Nevertheless, needs protection 😊😊

There have been many instances of cars plowing into crowds. Stay aware of what’s happening around you and stay mobile.

Not!

Exactly! I'm sure they are being told shoot and ask questions later. This is officially a police state now. 🤬😡

I totally agree we should be singing and dancing and putting flowers in the National Guard helmets
47 is a criminal. He said he saved LA. Haha sending fire rescue guards into LA last weekend

Yes, be situationally aware.
Many events happening! Please for the sake of our country show up!!! Peacefully & respectful!
Please everyone be careful and safe. Be peaceful and quiet.
I will be there on Olympia

It would be nice to include a link to where and what time the events are. Thank you
Google your local Indivisible group and 50501. There you will find the scheduled protests for your area.
Is this movement supporting/using the “sit down” approach? I can’t add pictures here. It is a 5-step approach I am seeing on social media.
No. Sitting is not recommended.
Are organizers aware of the “sit down” meme?
This is not the 60's and doing sit-in's is not recommended for the current political climate.
If I had a ride and an escort to help me get around I would go and bring a chair.
