The crowds would be much larger if most of us heard about this earlier than 11:58 am today. Absolute garbage organization for this one. I've marched in D.C. on more than one occasion and knew about the event at least a month in advance every time.
I saw a bunch of posts on lemmy the past 24 hrs
This is the way these things work though. This will get attention. The next one will be even bigger.

It may not seem like much, but news does travel the world. They have to realize we're not all idiots over here.

Nice to finally see some movement from you guys. Keep it up!
I don't know if this'll be removed but self-posts without news articles aren't allowed here (rule 2).
Is there a community for content like this? Like a focus on our participation in activism/resistance? Even if not here, this is amazing and something I'd still like to see somewhere.
Good call, I edited in an article.
I would really like to see such a community (and on a different instance). I mainly posted this because I don't see much coverage anywhere.
