#US (and international) protest on Saturday, March 28 - #NoKings 3 -- just released press video/advertisement.
[Just got this from a local Signal chat group.]

It's pretty good, definitely worth sharing. I hope that defenders of #Iran and #Palestine will be there, so I am tagging this for them.

Update: This includes over 41 international events; Australia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Caribbean Islands, Canada, Europe, Africa, Indonesia

Ni kings protests 1&2 literally did shit all to change anything, for one because these were just one day manifestations that disappeared the next day and nobody cared.

What is this protest supposed to achieve? Seriously, why even bother if it’s just another single day protest that changes exactly nothing?

Edit: I’m seriously not trying to be negative, it’s a serious question: what is the goal? You have concentration camps, people are being taken from the streets, you have a pedophile president destroying the world, and these one day no kings protest really is the best you can do? Can you at least make it a week worth of protests? I know it’s a cost, I know Americans can’t because work won’t let them, but FFS, that IS the problem, you should be able to just protest whenever you want and you literally can’t because you don’t have vacation days? You want that to stay the same forever? You want no change?

What are you going to do?

i participated in the largest national no kings protest… and was basically used as a back drop for trumps birthday parade. a protest does not work unless it has leverage, and if the media is hostile to your cause… well there goes the leverage.

Maybe ask the French how to do a protest, then.

They too don’t have leverage, they make their leverage. They make sure they can’t be ignored and they go at it for months if they have to.

A single day protest is going to do so little that the Cheeto won’t even have to bother thinking about it.

You need to have a permanent protest in front of the Whitehouse, and congress and the equivalent state houses in every goddamn state in your country. Be there 24/7. Make yourself unignorable.
