    I can’t find any real (read: website, email, etc) for the protest and honestly am wondering if it’s a false flag operation.

    I am not going to Facebook or reddit for info about this.

    Probably not. It’s looking from a glance to be pretty small and ill-planned, as many spontaneous “how 'bout we just All Protest Right Now?” things tend to go. I want to believe it’ll be big, but I doubt it, and my state capital is a long drive away for something I have so little faith in.

    I’m worried this will be a mess. On the subreddit everyone is discussing wearing blue and the US flag and I’ve only seen one person pointing out that none of this is practical for a protest, and no one is listening.

    I know I need to be more politically involved but I wonder if it’d be better not to risk my job so I can at least donate to causes that might be more effective. But I’ve also never seen a proper protest so maybe this is normal? What are y’all’s thoughts?

    ETA the user listed as the organizer for my state is suspended from Reddit, no other contact

    ETA II: yeahhhh I’ve seen three different start times for my state. I wonder if the reason I never hear about protests around here is we’re all stupid

    The weather here has us trapped at home, but I hope that the protest goes well! Organizing like this is important, and I hope we see more of this in the future, preferably with more time to prepare.
