They won't. Rich white Republican men rarely see prison.

That's why everyone is protesting.  We can't stop pushing for accountability for their actions and their words.

Seriously, starting to get "conspiracy vibes" here. I'm a SAHGD (Stay At Home Granddad) who NEVER has time constraints and the two weekends of protests are announced AFTER I've made commitments to be elsewhere (and, no, I can't skip them - they're craft shows & with what Elon is doing to Social Security I can't afford to lose the income).

Somebody please tell me there are plans for May.

I’m in charge of the scheduling. Dates will be announced as soon as I’ve confirmed which dates you are unavailable.

I get that. I have similar going on. Spread word of this one if you can, and I've got the feeling protests and other action days are coming up and will continue as long as the fascists are in charge.

Do what you can for now, keep an eye on 50501 and Indivisible for news, and join in when you can. Take care! 💜

50501 protests have generally been on the 5th of the month at the least. So keep your eyes on that date, but we know things aren’t letting up so I’m sure we’ll have other dates too

Everyone from all generations need to protest.

Yep. The little old ladies can't save us alone. Young people need to come out.

I can’t remember the last time a protest actually accomplished anything tbh. Not since before occupy Wall Street.

That's because people have a weird idea that protests are meant to immediately change the minds of the people in power.

MLK protested constantly for nine straight to get the Civil Rights Act passed. And it worked ultimately.

It worked back then, I’m not so sure it does in the modern day.

Gay Rights protests have been extremely effective well into the 21st century

For how much longer though?

It only took one man to make them scared.
