No Kings - Now What? Here’s Exactly What to Do Next
Shannon Watts on finding the fire to fight
I’ve loved seeing everyone’s photos from the No Kings protests this weekend. So many families came out together in multi-generational scrums. I heard from tons of you who were protesting for the very first time. The signs were incredibly fun, clever and also got right to the point of the day. Americans are fed up.
I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what specifically people should do now that the protest is over. So this is my *specific* list of actions to build on the momentum of No Kings:
1. Join an organized political group:
Find out when your local democrat group is meeting, sign up for their newsletter/facebook/whatever and plan to go to their events. Remember, the democratic party is made up of the people who show up and help make decisions.
Or join Indivisible/Moms Demand/a mutual aid group/ your local group of choice. You are more apt to find people similarly situated to you at these things than the larger dem group. You can also do both.
