Protests that count!
Did you attend a protest, feel the power of community, then get home and wonder “what now?” Here are a dozen things you can do the day after a protest to keep the energy flowing!
How to do it:
- Share photos (conceal faces of strangers) and post about something you enjoyed, learned, or valued at the protest.
- Follow up on a contact or join a group that looked interesting.
- Did you attend a smaller or peripheral protest under 500 people? Those often get missed in the crowd count, but we can help! Learn how to count and report protest sizes here.
- Call your elected leaders and tell them you protested, and why. Ask where they were.
- Search out local news stories and leave positive interactions.
- Write a letter to the editor about why you protested, and what it was like.
- Store your protest materials in a safe place, easy to grab next time.
- Make a donation to one of the groups at the protest.
- Identify a small weekly protest you might join, and put it on the calendar.
- Go to sponsor businesses and tell them why you’re there.
- Interact with other people’s posts about the event. Boost public posts.
- Check your voter registration (or register to vote.) Democracy requires participation.
