Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

I got a bit bored at the last one so I was thinking of some kind of activity to bring more joy and give an excuse to interact with other people. Any suggestions?

Pin the 5 billion dollar government contract on the Elon Musk?

Fun idea!

Also, how about a bowling ball that's Trump's head, and the bowling pins are public institutions, the scales of justice, the constitution, etc.

The one throwing the ball needs to wear a Musk facemask. You can include other billionaires for diversity.

If we're going this route, a Trump piñata sounds like the most fun way of making a protest really exciting.

I like this. Fill it with $1 bills

  • Riot
  • Drawing Banners/Signs together
  • if allowed, using chalk etc to draw ob the ground. There is even spray chalk
  • provide food and / or cold/hot drinks to other attendees
  • have flyers / !zines@slrpnk.net / stickers to hand out ready
  • soap bubbles for everyone
  • sing some protest songs and teach them to others

I like how we should check if chalking is allowed but riot no matter what 🤣

Lol I found that humorous as well. Dude here got the spirit but is a little confused

Well, rioting is obviously expecting some sort of state response when you engage in it. But you don't want to get arrested unexpectedly.
