Moms vs Militias

We need groups like the Portland Mom's to stand tall and counter the anticipated Militia turnout on Nov 3.

They could set up tables outside their local voting places. Serve water, baked goods, even organize pot luck dinners for those in the long lines.

I doubt that even dumb ass militia members won't think twice before causing violence around a group of peaceful, unarmed Mom's.

Especially if the Mom's have food.

This could be organized via Social Media.

Even High Schooler's who can't yet vote could participate. It would allow them to feel like they contribute to Saving Democracy in America.

Hey TikTok'ers - where are you?

I'll leave it at militia's for now. Personally they are the same thing to me and 'Militia's' is shorter.

Thanks!
