Protest Rallies
”Protests have sprouted up on so many Main Streets. I love it! At first I felt strongly that we should be gathering in fewer places and making our marches larger, but I’ve come to feel that the more plentiful pop-up gatherings in small towns and localities are actually better. Beverly Hills, for example, has become a pretty Trumpy place. Our presence there was not a foregone conclusion. It mattered. It said “we’re here and we’re not afraid.” - Jessica Craven, author of “Chop Wood, Carry Water.”
OUR APPROACH TO PROTEST EVENTS AT INDIMARIN
Protest events are one important aspect of a robust resistance to the Trump Administration. They are high-profile events and often draw new people and energy to the movement.
Philosophically, we believe that:
Continual, small protests popping up in many locations are positive and a key tactic for the opposition movement. We will do our utmost to support and share information on the vibrant and organic protests which are a key component of the Resistance. These protests are being organized by a range of groups and also by individuals.
Create great signs to get your message across!
We encourage all members who want to be protesting frequently to organize some friends, pick a busy intersection and self-organize! The more of us that start being visible in the streets organically the better.
In addition to protests, there are many actions we should all be taking on a daily/weekly basis to fight back against the Trump Administration’s illegal, authoritarian attempt to takeover America. Please review all of the pages on our website for ideas of ways to engage in the Resistance on a daily and weekly basis. These regular actions are very important to fuel the resistance and help win crucial upcoming elections.
