Look for three humorous or inspiring stories about resistance today, or find a protest sign from an earlier event that speaks to you. Verify, then share them. There is a widespread idea that Americans aren’t doing anything, but in fact we’re everywhere, every day, creatively resisting. It’s up to us to get the word out.
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.
In the lead-up to every protest naysayers insist that protest are useless AND dangerous. Listen to Erica Chenoweth’s 12 minute Ted talk about moving from skeptic to believer, based on the scientific evidence. Then share it with someone else who needs to hear it.
No Kings III is March 28th. With more than 3000 events nationwide (and more around the world) it’s likely you have more than one option for attendance. Will you go to the huge one at a nearby capital, or drop by a smaller local event? With staggered times, you might be able to hit more than one! Check the nokings.org map and make a plan, then invite a couple of friends to join you.
House Democrats have officially launched an information-collection portal for ICE abuses. If you often say “they all need to be prosecuted” this is where the records are collected for that day. Make sure people know about it, and if you have first hand knowledge of immigration abuses, report them. It’s also worth a few minutes to skim through the database of existing reports. The Iran war may have shifted ICE out of the headlines, but they’re just as active.
Protests get big when we talk about them, so share something about No Kings III every day through March 28th. It can be a post, an interaction, or a conversation in a coffee shop…just make sure it’s what people are talking about!
