Protests are one of the few things that actually work. Why? Because people, especially in conservative districts, see the protests and think they are not crazy, what is happening is outrageous.

There is a reason why protests are being quickly cracked down in autoritarian regimes like Russia. Several states introduced legislations to restrict protests.

The resistance needs to grow to reach a critical mass. Every town hall meeting with house representative, state senators, etc. Massive online presence, our voices must always be louder on social networks, media, tv shows, etc. So far we are doing good. And, we should ALWAYS stick to facts. Never let anyone call us fake news, paid protesters, etc.
