(2,902 posts)It would be interesting to see how many would show up in February. Might make a bigger impact, showing up in bad weather.

(4,135 posts)what's left of it---- with participants carrying torches and pitchforks...!
(or some sort of 'electric torch'--- safety first! or maybe 'Light sabers'!)
Otherwise, with more past participants reportedly being older,
it is less likely that we will come out in such cold weather
no matter how much we believe in the cause!
Whatever news coverage would be generated would likely emphasize
a decrease in the number of participants from the previous protests
(and I presume that would prove true, but I am not an infallible prophet)

About this event
The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House its all meant to overwhelm us. Its a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back.
The antidote: Coming together in community to process whats happening, to sift through whats important and whats just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back.
Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week, as we carve out an hour to discuss whats happening and more importantly whats the plan.

(54,428 posts)I think national boycotts should be the next move, not a general strike. Remember how well the boycott in favor of Jimmy Kimmel worked? That is what we need now....hit the GOP in their greedy pocketbooks. That is what they live for...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The rallies were great. 21 million showed up for the Oct 18th NO KINGS!
"8% of Americans say they participated in a No Kings protest on October 18 - about 21 Million
No Kings protests
Most Americans (87%) heard a lot (47%) or a little (40%) about the No Kings protests held nationwide on October 18
8% of Americans including 16% of Democrats and Independents who lean towards the Democratic Party say they participated in a recent No Kings protest
Older Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents are more likely than younger ones to have participated: 25% of those 65 and older did compared to 13% of younger adults
Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents who graduated from college are also more likely to have participated in the protests than are those who did not graduate from college (20% vs.13%)"
