I wonder if it would make more sense for people to make appointments at their nearest firing range, for basic firearm safety training. Just, you know, in case a burglar burgles a home or something. If the government saw that 10,000 people went for training this weekend, they'd feel better about our safety. And more could join in next weekend.

If only people where willing to protest Trump getting into office last November...

Better late than never!

Hearing about this 4 days before it was going to happen just seems like poor planning...

You need a solid month at the very minimum if you really want people to see, prepare, and be there....

True, though its growing very fast.

I'm glad it is, truly. I just wish I would've known sooner so I could join...

They have more stuff planned for the future, but yeah, this was all very short notice.

This is important, don't get me wrong, but most people can't drive to bum-fuck for a protest. Most US State capitals are in the middle of nowhere purposefully. Props to all the organizers getting stuff like this off the ground. We need more material means of dissent.

Did I miscount? I counted 30 states.

Thats on newsweek. There is more on the subreddit/discord for it.

i count 6 in United States of Indonesia :
East Sumatra, East Indonesia, Madura, East Java, South Sumatra, Pasundan,

(+50 in USA for a total of 56) /joke

Maybe that anti-Trump protest could have happened at the election booth back in November.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
