Do NOT attend this event.
No one can identify the organizers. It's being held without the involvement of any group of organized leftists.
The guidance posted in this thread recommends streaming of video evidence and propagation of that video. This is a blatant violation of operational security.
Revolutionary events are never shared with major media outlets. Major media outlets would not propagate them.
Do NOT attend this event. You WILL be identified by your oppressors. It WILL become a threat to your security. We CANNOT save you from the consequences.
Do NOT attend this event.
Every action has a level of risk. Doing nothing is not acceptable.
I see you.
Given all the evidence, it would be extremely unwise to attend this event.
The fact that you felt the need to speak as a moderator instead of defeating my claims with the facts and reason you should've had before you supported it should serve as a red flag to for yourself and others.
Looking forward to your ideas of things that should be done.
Looking forward to your explanation of which leftist organization organized this event and how streaming video facilitates operational security.
Wait, ignoring all of the other stuff, why does protest and action have to be leftist to be legit?
There are other segments protesting, including democrats, who are not leftist.
Here's who's organizing it, from the post.

Don't stream. But you need to explore what revolutionary optimism is.
After decades engaging theory and praxis, after a half dozen books on the specific topic, after suggesting the core text on the topic to you, I now need to watch some fuckhead's video to explain the basics?
I'm not convinced. Not even a little bit.
That fuckhead has been organizing for the past 15 years. You're unwilling to do any research outside of what you've read and can reinforce yourself. You weren't aware of this protest before you read it on the news and since you didn't hear it through the grapevine you don't trust it as you cannot control it. You are the very example of a terminally online leftist. Touch grass. There's no conspiracy against you here. And you're getting defensive. You might want to investigate why.
With all your learned reasoning why don't you define in your own words what revolutionary optimism is. I'm not referring to the dua lipa song.
A general strike would be far more effective and safer than people showing up to mass facial recognition scanning event.
I don't see how participating in a general strike would serve to identify you any less than marching.
And every little bit helps. Of course, if you're a person who's comfortable with a higher level of risk which might allow you do take "more subversive" actions, you might be wise to save your efforts for those, and forgo going to a march.
But that's not everyone, and we're not gatekeeping resistance.
Fuck off with this living in fear bullshit.
