Protest City Sub-Directory

MoveOn.org recommened that we get in touch with our local Indivisible offices. These guys have the countrywide connections that we want. Now, we'll still need reddit outreach but I expect some changes to come if Indivisible joins us. I've already contacted everyone in my area and I suggest you do the same. Thanks!

Protest City Sub-directory at lower half of post. This will be repeatedly edited for incoming updates.

We will be filling out permit applications for locations and we will not be protesting at stores. This is a peaceful, legal protest. We do not want to bait Fox News and their false propaganda narrative.

Hello all!

There have been complaints for months, if not years, that Americans are not taking to the streets like people in Hong Kong or European countries. While we are extremely vocal in our technological connections the old hat of the world still views much of life through the TV.

These peaceful protests are to be nationwide in the largest cities that are of ease to your transportation. Not everyone can fly to DC so that should not be expected. The desire is to have this peaceful protest day the major news story of the holiday vacation.

We all want Trump gone now but this is being prepared and planned in anticipation that he might still be in Office by Thanksgiving. Keep in mind the effect of the Area 51 Raid on how it built international interest the more and more people talked about it. That's what we want to do... keep talking about it. The Republicans remain silent in their support for Trump so it is high time we got loud about our disapproval of Trump.

But, it is important that these are peaceful protests that are approved by the city. Someone from each city will need to take point and apply for the protest for location, time, etc. We have two months to organize this and I believe we can do this together to send a message to Washington DC that it has been three fucking years of this nonstop nonsense coming from Traitor Trump.

Be proud, get loud!

The Message and Memes we are spreading on Social Media

Let's discuss a few things.

*I'm going to make mistakes and I'm going to need your help keeping this organized. Contact me to correct me.

  1. Don't get discouraged. We are in our first week of organizing this protest and I think it's progressing fucking swell!

  2. My simplest desire is to unite our nation on one day to loudly protest against the failing Trump administration.

  3. This is the main subreddit where most information will be dispensed. Sister subreddits are to reduce the clutter and keep people in your location updated on events and schedules that are not related to this main sub. Only one sister subreddit per city. First come, first serve. Check the comment section before you create one in case I am busy doing something and haven't had a chance to update the list. https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/create

  4. We want Trump out of office as soon as possible but with McConnell running his re-election campaign to keep Trump in office we need to prepare this protest for the eventuality that Trump will still be there.

  5. It might be one day but it's the day we are going to unite to send a message that we are united in removing Trump and his Republican enablers out of office.

  6. Protest Black Friday sales but don't be militant about it. It sucks being poor and some people need to save a buck when they can.

  7. Sister Subs are information hubs for planning and staging their city protest. Things that you should post are updates about securing a place and time to protest, online activism to inform the greater population and weekly letters to the editor and tv stations about this upcoming protest. We will be filling out permit applications for locations and we will not be protesting at stores. This is a peaceful, legal protest.

  8. Check my sister sub r/BFP_STLouis if you need tips on what to post.

  9. To help me keep organized I may need to remove this announcement and replace it with a new one to remove comments. There's just... a lot for me to filter through and clarity is key.

  10. If I think or am advised of other key points I will update.

Conduct notes:

  1. The plan is to make a noticable dip in sales of everything. Pack your lunch, don't shop out. Bring a few prepackaged snacks for people who didn't. (Granola bars, jerky, and cheese blocks are good ideas.)

  2. don't harass anyone. We want to be noticed as people fighting for change and sending a message, not the crazy asshole yelling at clouds and blocking the pathway into a store

  3. some employees have no choice. Dont be rude to them. A paycheck may be the only thing keeping their kids alive, dont harass them for doing their job. Let them know why you're there and dont make their job harder if you can help it

  4. Clean up after yourself. Any trash behind will be photographed and used against you and your cause. Plus it's bad for the environment.

Seems like you'd probably have better luck with Madison, it's both more liberal, and the state capital.

I'll wait for someone else to do that since I created the STL. Please check back for updates!

Please create a sub or, if you don't want to, check back here for someone who has. Thanks for joining us!

I totally had a brainfart when I posted this, my bad. 🤣

It's ok!

How do you create a sub and link it under the state? Don’t have a ton of reddiquette skills. Mostly read.

3
TheElectricKey_-_-•

Here ya go!

https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/create

Just enter the name that you want and hit create at the bottom.

I posted on r/Denver.

I’m suuuper duuuper sick (and so are my nine-year-old twins), so I’m not sure if that was the right thing to do or not...dehydration is one delirious bitch.

I’m not sure how active I’ll be able to be, (will re-evaluate when I’m not puking every 10min), but I figured that maybe posting it there could bring in some other activists...and hell, if nothing else—maybe it can help flip Cory-Fucking-Gardener’s Senate seat—which would just be so goddamn gorgeous, I can’t help but smile (weakly) at the idea...

Anyways, I’m with you ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

TheElectricKey_-_-•

That's ok. I've got a rod through my finger as I heal for a cut tendon injury. We still need a r/BFP_Denver but heal up and, if you can, inform your Blue Devil Airport Horse neighbors that we need someone to take a lead on that sub. ;) I've been to that city once... and I do want to visit it again. Love the view and the good people!

A rod through your fingers for a cut tendon injury. Well, now I feel super shitty (...in my defense, I just had to use a ladle and bucket to scoop vomit off of one of my kids’ beds—and only added to the puke-pile once myself, sooo...I mean, I guess there’s that excuse—but it’s certainly no rod-through-my-fingers)...

Anyways, I hope you heal well and fast; that sounds like NO FUN at all!

(In case you’re interested, “Blue Devil Airpot Horse” is actually (nick)named, Blucifer — because, well, it looks scary-as-fuck AND has the distinction of having killed its creator. Yay, ”art”!

Blue Mustang

Blue Mustang, known to locals by the nickname Blucifer, is a cast-fiberglass sculpture of a mustang located at Denver International Airport. Colored bright blue, with illuminated glowing red eyes, it is notable both for its striking appearance and for having killed its creator Luis Jiménez when a section of it fell on him at his studio.Blue Mustang was one of the earliest public art commissions for Denver International Airport in 1993. The sculpture was based on the eight-foot-high sculpture Mesteño (Mustang), on display at the University of Oklahoma. Standing at 32 feet (9.8 m) tall and weighing 9,000 pounds (4,100 kg) including its steel armature, Blue Mustang is located in the median of Peña Boulevard.

My jaw was broken in three places and due to the cost of medical care I winged it without surgery. But, you know...

https://www.reddit.com/r/BFP_Denver/ I made it, I would prefer to add someone else to help moderate and design it

Look at you being all awesome!

Well done, fellow Coloradan, well-fucking-done.

(After I’m done puking my brains out, I’ll evaluate if I’m able to be of much help re: co-mod’ing the sub.)

There's something going around I feel like everyone is sick

Yeah, sick of the Presidents shit.

If you still need someone I'd be willing to hop on board!

I could definitely use the help

I would think a Madison, Wi sister sub would be good. It’s a college town with fairly progressive views and is the state capitol.

I don’t have any connections with Madison, but maybe someone will see this and be inspired.

I'll add it when it comes.

Will the Michigan protest be in Ann Arbor? I thought it was at State capitals?

2
TheElectricKey_-_-•

Each large city in Michigan can have it's individual protest.

daleoth11•

I live in an area of smaller conservative towns (FL 1st congressional dist.) where tiny protests will be laughed off. I'll be getting into contact with my counties Democratic Party and working on a plan with them to build some support. Will post the sub once created.

7
TheElectricKey_-_-•

Solid plan. I'll look forward to what you post!

Create a sub and take lead or ask for help in getting the requirements fulfilled for a protest.

Thanks for helping make this happen!

3
TheElectricKey_-_-•

If you want to, create a sister sub and reply back here and I'll update the list. Also recruit people to help you make it happen.

Best of luck, we're all going to need it.

r/BFP_BayArea is now up. I'll be looking into adding more details soon.

I'll be cheering you all on from Australia.

I've been to Australia twice while in the Navy. Love that country and your people but not so much those jumping crocodiles. Thanks for your support!

3

I'm from up north where those jumping crocs live. Fishing can interesting. We have the U.S Navy boys dock here (I'd say) quite often. Wouldn't surprise me if you've been to my hometown.

2
TheElectricKey_-_-•

I docked in Darwin around 2002 during some beer can float festival that I missed because I didn't know about it and went on a trip to see the wildlife instead. Still not sure if my choice was good or not. lol

2
ChocDroppa•

Wow! Yep, that's my hometown. And don't worry, you made the right choice. The Beer Can Regatta is just a piss up in the sun.

What are peoples' thoughts about organizing protests outside of the US? I'd like to do one outside the Toronto consulate.

4
BFP2019•

Make it happen. This definitely isn't a state's only issue. We need to unite globally. There will be people all over the world protesting for various reasons, regardless of how much traction this gains. Each and every voice added to the fight for the removal of 45, and for the rights of people everywhere is important and greatly needed. Good luck from Florida!

Yes to this!

Fully supported. If you want to host a r/BFP_Toronto I'll make an update on the list.
