In the U.S. protest without permits is legal for emerging events, but it doesn’t leave time for advertising. In the two days since Renee Good was killed, more than 1000 #ICEOutForGood Indivisible protests have popped up, and there are thousands from other groups as well. Join a protest this weekend even if you never have before. It’s okay to do it poorly: you don’t need a sign. You need to stand with like-minded people.
Big groups of people can be unruly. There have been plenty of riots after sports games. To protect yourself and present peaceful resistance, learn new skills.
The ACLU, Indivisible, No Kings and others have online trainings about your rights at a protest, how to de-escalate, and more.
The food industry is one of the few not utterly monopolized in America. Protests can disrupt and drive away business, so if you’re turning out to an event, spend some money (cash is good!) at a nearby business. Take your sign along, and be a good customer.
