    I’m with you, I think we all are, but what would you propose we do? I certainly don’t know. “Attending protests” doesn’t feel impactful or immediate enough.

      In addition to protests:

      1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, and will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
      2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This would massively impact their income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
      3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective (plus you’ll get better pay and benefits!)

      If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

      You could visit your congressman’s office and hold them accountable. Thats why their office is in your county, but hopefully not too far.

      But please do attend the protests too, they need to have these protests at media stations/HQs for maximum effects and coverage
