    Didn’t even know this was happening… I would have gone if I knew. How does one even get information on protests? They seem to be heavily suppressed.

      You need to change your media diet. Here are a few recommendations:

      • If you’re into news sites, then add a few that have a little more “independent” coverage: E.g., The Guardian.
      • If you’re into social media, then you need to go out of your way to subscribe to local resistance groups and/or individuals that cover local protests.
      • If you’re interested, get involved with your local resistance groups! Do a search for “Indivisible” + [name of your city] as a place to start. This could mean going to meetings or it could be as easy as keeping up with a Signal thread.
      • Find sites that cover local protests. Example: Mobilize. This is also a good way to find local resistance groups; look for protests and then look for the groups that are organizing them.

      The bottom line is that you’re going to have to do a tiny bit of work to get plugged in to the resistance. Once you do, the protests and actions you care about will show up on your radar.

      50501 is the site I went to. I just keep an eye on their site and check it like once a week to see if anything is happening in my area

      We seriously need a countrywide and also even individual online real-time communities for states and cities focused on getting things done together.

      Especially to inform each other on when these events are

      I know many people who would have gone including myself.

      Keep getting more people active, and most importantly connected with each other in-person and online. We all got this!! First we need to better connect!

      Edit: Stoat, and Matrix are ideal for the platforms to build up these online 3rd spaces
