Just tried to sign up for a No Kings event

[spooky3]

And saw this: “ This event is at max capacity.”

It’s going to be big!

(I’ll find another event.)

[Passages]

1. That is great!

[usonian]

2. The map shows nearby events.

That is awesome, being at capacity.

🚫👑

[Scrivener7]

3. I think you're right. This feels like a groundswell.

[lastlib]

4. Go anyway.

An "overflow crowd" will get more attention.

[spooky3]

6. I already signed up for another event. There are several

In the area.

[Captain Zero]

5. Go anyway. Make it bigger

Raise hell.

[Tetrachloride]

12. agree. as long as its outside and you bring enough hot chocolate

for everyone

[Wednesdays]

30. Where we're at,

it'll be cold margaritas and beer.

[malaise]

7. Great news

Rec.

[spooky3]

10. Hey there!

[yaesu]

8. I can't believe my little town that is so red the rats wear maga hats is having a no kings protest Saturday 👍

[doc03]

9. I never signed up the last time, just joined

in.

[Tree Lady]

27. I never sign up because I am on enough lists

Wonder if they need us to.

[summer_in_TX]

31. Signing up helps them validate the numbers in attendance.

The official numbers are newsworthy.

Last time there were those who tried to inflate the numbers. But the organizers did not, and reported numbers I believe were reliable.

[Brainstormy]

35. me neither

you don't need to sign up. Just SHOW up!

[Fullduplexxx]

11. Unless the right's been signing up just to take spaces

[Skittles]

13. are you sure it wasn't hacked

GO ANYWAYS

[slightlv]

14. I had no idea there was such a thing as "max capacity"...

unless it's being held indoors, and I don't know of any that aren't outside. But spooky, this bodes well, methinks!

[soldierant]

15. When I saw the title

that is what I was hoping was going to be the rest of the story. Glad to hear it.

[James48]

16. In my little MAGA town

We are having OUR OWN EVENT- in a town of 4k in rural Michigan. Holy Cow! These are my people!

[barbtries]

17. If they provide the address

you can go anyway. just saying.

on balance this is good news.

[sarisataka]

18. Is it just me or does it seem counter intuitive

To sign up online for an event protesting an authoritarian government?

[doc03]

33. That is something to seriously consider. Do you really want to sign up for something

the dictator says is sponsored by a far-left terrorist organization.

[leftstreet]

38. +1

[RainCaster]

19. I've never seen one have a limit

Every one I've attended was at 200% of expected capacity or more.

[Cirsium]

20. Maximum capacity?

For a protest rally? Very strange. Why would anyone try to limit the size? Why the need to sign up at all?

[spooky3]

22. This is an urban area with limited space. That particular event will be hosted

At a retirement community.

[Cirsium]

23. Ah, OK

Thanks.

[Amaryllis]

25. So they know how many safety people and restroooms. There is ton of organization that goes into one of these.See this:

[Cirsium]

32. I suppose

I have been to hundreds of marches and rallies over a 50 year period and I don't remember ever running anything like that. Yes, we always tried to predict the size of the turnout for security, trash pickup, portajohns and so on. I find it odd.

[mobeau69]

21. I never sign up but I show up. That's what's important.

[milestogo]

24. They have multiplied.

Even smaller towns are having them.

This is good.

[NoMoreRepugs]

26. Here in Jacksonville our Democratic club is encouraging us to only go

to the ones where security will be supplied.

[Jack Valentino]

28. Isn't it an outdoor event? This seems strange to me...

[spooky3]

29. There are events all over the metro area. This is just one. Nt

[malaise]

37. Are your signs ready?

:hi;

[doc03]

34. I went to one in Wheeling WV. A friend told me about it the day before , I just showed up.

There would have been no problem if twice as many showed up.

[Oppaloopa]

36. Is there any in Florida?

[spooky3]

42. Yes - check this out:

[MaineNative]

39. Yeeehaww

[Joinfortmill]

40. Ah, yes. But like someone said, gotta get out there all the time

We're getting to that point. Gonna shake the evils ones, for sure.

[BigmanPigman]

41. Two protests merged into 1 big one at NO KINGS June 14

I was on an elevated area and the sea of 80,000 people made me cry (seriously). On NO KINGS Oct 18 there are now 3 protests within 1 mile of each other.

I signed up for it on Sept. 6th! I told everyone how big this was going to be, I'm 3 experienced at being an activist by now (33 protests).

Don't forget to bring noise makers.
