I’m making plans to protest daily outside my representative’s local office. Rather than appear like a crazy person, which is often the case in NYC, I want to start some political awakening in my neighborhood. I live in a Republican district of the city and my neighborhood is ripe to learn how the GOP is raping this country, removing benefits that many low income people rely on, increasing our taxes, and becoming a Fascist state.
So, does the Lemmy community have any advice? What material should I distribute? Should I read the Constitution ad nauseam?
To the Americans here, I love each and everyone of you and we all deserve a safe and prosperous nation.
To my brothers and sisters worldwide, thank you for reading and for your solidarity.
I mean I could but no one is doing anything serious and it sounds corny as fuck but be the change you want to see in the world. The biggest protests this week in NYC was about Gaza, and look, I sympathize with the conflict but class solidarity over cultural dividing lines. No one is seeing the bigger picture that our collective voices are being stifled and we are in fact entering a Regime and it doesn’t matter if you are against/for Palestine our collective right to even protest is being attacked daily.
In that case maybe go to those groups with your idea? You might find someone willing to protest with you or otherwise help make your idea work.
