Protests

Where do we find out where and when protests are happening?

1. Don't have a good answer, but before attending any protest...

. . .make sure you do due diligence on the sponsors. Not everything is as it seems in these crazy times. If violent "radical liberal protests" they can demonize don't materialize they will attempt to stage them.

The most effective thing you can probably do is connect with others in your community, contact your representative's and/or senators' scheduler, and set up a meeting as a group with staff to let them know what you expect of your elected in this crisis.

Search "5051", I get this: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/


There were other orgs in the "anti-trump rallies" search results.

3. Check out websites for 50501 movement, your local Democratic party, local or state Indivisible,

or Build the Resistance--seems like the answer to your question should be simple, but it depends on your location.

Try your local Dem party first, talk to a human, and just keep asking folks. Above all, don't be afraid to raise your voice. And--save cardboard to make your own (big) signs with, and black magic markers. Nobody is printing signs to hand out at these rallies, things are happening too quickly. Plus, your sign should express your concerns. Nobody judges, everybody counts.

Wear hat, comfortable shoes, take water.

4. I'm just taking this from long ago civil rights protests

Probably not necessary but won't hurt:
Lawyer name and phone number
Toothbrush or sugar free gum

I protested a lot in Texas so hat and sun screen
