Some organizers say the protests are both a reaction to Trump and a call to action for systemic change.

And these are going to stop it?

No?

That's not the goal of a protest. There's only one way to stop it, and the last couple of attempts missed. If you're not willing to do that, a protest is at least a step towards resistance.

The best way to get something out of a protest is to find your local activist groups there. Political organisation is how regimes are resisted. If you go there, yell, and leave, you're not really making much of a change.
