You have your protest sign…but do you have your protest outfit? From t-shirts to pins, wear something that takes the protest from the streets to wherever you go the rest of the day. Visit nearby businesses impacted by the protest and buy something. Tip well. If you have extra stickers or pins, pass them out to people who had to work and were sorry to miss the protest. Share protest energy wherever you go.
Change your social media images to posters or maps of No Kings III to help build awareness. Make this Saturday the thing people don’t want to miss — it’s ALL about the numbers. They can pretend it’s only a few people standing up to ICE or that a hundred protesters are being paid, but if we hit twelve million, we prove we’re the real America. Take a friend to the protest, and bring home a new activist.
If you don’t want to battle crowds for a big protest, join (or start!) a small one peripheral to the main event. Visibility Brigade will have overpass events, or check other standing protest groups for adjunct events. If there’s nothing, protest with a friend! Small protests in remote or deep-red places inspire people nationwide! Report your numbers to the Crowd Counting Consortium, and you’ll add to the total!
