Posting this here because the discourse would be one social media removed.
I posted a local protest and some liberal decided to say, "What will this actually do? Something that still isn't direct action?"
I'm SORRY. Just because an event isn't direct action where you're prepared to get arrested or killed, doesn't mean its not WORTH DOING. Gods im so livid. This is a community event in front of the library, where we were told to bring signs, air grievance to city officials, do networking and community building for our local community and officials to trust, and distribute information on ICE and what to say if they're around, and handing out whistles to alert neighbors when they eventually do show up.
NONE OF THAT isn't worth doing. Not to mention that this is an event geared toward families and disabled folks!!! Those who CANNOT DO DIRECT ACTION. JFC if we limit our protests to only direct action, all the revolutionaries are going to be fucking dead.
I'm being dramatic, but we already have a fucking problem with organization here in the US. Don't fucking make it worse by excluding what people are actually able to do.
