      I went to one in a small Illinois city today. We had about 1000 people which is crazy for our area. I bet the nola gathering was nuts.

    We 🇨🇦 have been yelling at 🇺🇲 for months now, “Boycott, protest, do SOMETHING!” Very happy to see them take action against the orange shitgibbon and his ‘88’ fanatics. Well done! We’re doing what we can by boycotting the US, but it ultimately falls to the 🇺🇲 people to clean up their own house.

    Perhaps I just missed it, but I didn’t see any support from local government, such as Mayors or Governors, speaking at the protests. Oh, well. Carry on without them and remember who stood with you and who hid under their desk.

    Needs to be daily before anything happens

    Once, in a weekend, means nothing. We need to be out there constantly, everyday

    This is a good start, but it’s only a very very quiet start

      I was at one yesterday and while you’re 100% right, I’m hoping that what we’re doing right now is building a head of steam, the US has never really protested on this scale before and getting everyone out is gonna take time to organize. Next one is set for the 19th. If we get a bigger turn out then and keep it up that’s how we generate the momentum for daily protests and general strikes going. It’s not enough at all but I was encouraged by the turn out I saw versus other rallies this year

      50501 is one group in the coalition running Hands Off. Hands Off is primarily run by a center-left group called Indivisible, but is endorsed/supported by a lot of other center-left to left organizations like the AFL-CIO, ACLU, HRC, DSA.

    You’d think they say more than 2 million. Since I read the estimate is at 5.2 million in the US. 100k in Boston alone.
