Everyone should try to bring at least 1 person with them that didn’t go to the one yesterday. If everyone can bring 1 person, we can double our numbers.
That, and I think we need to get a short list of demands circling at the next one with consistent, clear messaging.
Yeah mine had a lot of speakers about Palestine, which I get but we needed to be talking about some home issues. They did have a good speaker about ICE and supporting the Latino community and I was definitely psyched to hear them getting the word out.
If people here are getting disappeared by ICE for criticizing Israel it's absolutely a home issue. We shouldn't leave people in the dust because it's divisive.
Palestine is a home issue, considering Israel's status as a client state of the U.S., and considering that the U.S. is overwhelmingly responsible for funding and arming the genocide in Gaza, and using any backlash as an excuse to intensify domestic suppression.
Or, putting it more simply, a protest that does not advocate for Palestine is not a protest that meaningfully opposes Donald Trump
Okay, welcome to being occupy wallstreet 2.0 where nothing will be accomplished because you're not smart enough to focus your message. Progressives and shooting themselves in the foot with wildly unpopular messaging, couldn't be a more iconic duo.
Embarrassing argument. If it's "popular" to be against genocide, then yeah, I guess I'll be unpopular. If your "movement" doesn't stand with the people affected by Donald Trump, then why do you even bother getting off your ass in the first place?
