Want to continue demonstrating after the No Kings protests? Here's what you can do next

[Uncle Joe]

More than 8 million people showed up across 3,300 No Kings protests on Saturday, calling for an end to the war in Iran, immigration agents in their communities and what they see as Trump’s creeping authoritarianism. Organizers say it’s the greatest number of protests in a single day in US history.

But movement scholars say social change doesn’t begin and end with one protest. It takes activism at the local and national level, and in a variety of forms, to bring about change.

“No Kings was conceived to unite a cross-movement push against authoritarianism. And there is not one way to fight it,” said Leah Greenberg, a co-executive director of the Indivisible Project, which founded the No Kings movement. “We see No Kings as part of a tapestry of defiance that is going on.”

“What we think is actually important are the ways in which these large-scale gatherings fuel ongoing organizing that might look like economic non-cooperation, local mutual aid organizing or legislative advocacy at the state or local level,” said Greenberg. “It’s all connected if we do it right.”

Here’s a look at how these efforts have worked over time.

1. Phone in your resistance! ☎️

Get the 5 CALLS app or visit their site!

https://5calls.org

Our reps actually DO pay attention to the number of calls & postcards they get. It takes ten minutes or less to make three calls. No joke. Not sure what to say? 5 CALLS makes it easy! They keep track of issues & bills & have sample text for messages. You're probably holding the best resistance tool you have in your hand right now.

What you say isn't as important as that you make the call!! ☎️☎️☎️

We have weekly protest gatherings at most of the pedestrian bridges that span the highway in our area. We should really make them daily.

Even more is welcome!

Did you notice the protest songs are still from the 60's (they were and are THAT good)

Working on new ones!

5. The French have a social safety net.

Americans can’t just stop what they’re doing and protest everyday.

6. It's probably why they have a social safety net.

4. "Trump's creeping authoritarianism"??

A few issues with that wording:
1) it's not creeping. More like "stampeding" authoritarianism.
2) I don't appreciate the hedging "what they see as", either.

Though I guess "Trump's creeping" does work, if you read any of the Trumpstein Files at all.
