I'm worried this will be a mess. On the subreddit everyone is discussing wearing blue and the US flag and I've only seen one person pointing out that none of this is practical for a protest, and no one is listening.
I know I need to be more politically involved but I wonder if it'd be better not to risk my job so I can at least donate to causes that might be more effective. But I've also never seen a proper protest so maybe this is normal? What are y'all's thoughts?
ETA the user listed as the organizer for my state is suspended from Reddit, no other contact
ETA II: yeahhhh I've seen three different start times for my state. I wonder if the reason I never hear about protests around here is we're all stupid
ETA III: the person saying they'll DM people the signal link for my state never got back to me. Is this normal? I thought protests were supposed to be more coordinated but I've also never seen one local to me so I might be wrong.
