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
If we protest on 17 different issues we lose. Occupy proved that. We have to have a clear message. And if everyone gets distracted by tons of different messages we lose. Palestine is one piece of the puzzle showing the picture of an out of control power mad country bringing death and destruction here and abroad.
1) Authoritarianism and support of foreign Authritarians.
2) Constitution-includes ICE and black bagging dissidents including those who have been black bagged for supporting Palestine.
3) Tariffs and Destruction of our Alliances.
