Protest: A Lemmy Forum To Organize Protests and Boycotts

To my understanding, eesearch has generally found that peaceful protest also works, generally in achieving different ends. You know what else works? All maner of other forms of political organizing. Its what got mamdani elected.

No need to present protest as ineffective, it's a great way to get your foot in the door, start getting comfortable with these things, connect with other people, and attend to your mental health by building solidarity and feeling engaged with the issues you care about.

Whatever gets you offline and taking action is a good thing. Start with a protest. Start with going to a local meeting for a political org. Start with joining your local ICE watch.

The important thing is that you get offline and get involved with other people. Start.
