Tomorrow I am starting a daily multi-hour protest in front of my GOP representative’s office in NYC.
#Resist
I am lucky enough to be able to afford some hours every day to this activity and not everyone can do this, but I am posting my small act of civil disobedience to show it’s not crazy to be thinking about it.
please be safe!
@adarza@lemmy.ca thanks, it’s a concern I have for sure. I’ll be wearing my Sunday finest and no face coverings/sunglasses so people can see my happy face. I can deal with lip from people but any physical threats and I will back out and just come back the next day.

sending you encouraging vibes.
be aware, even completely civil nonviolent usage of your constitutional rights can be misconstrued and things might escalate quickly unexpectedly.
be sure to have recording devices that automatically upload. memorize at least one phone number for someone who can help you in case your phone is taken or worst case you are detained. know your rights, review advice from civil liberties orgs so you know when it’s wise to speak or wise to remain silent.

It isn’t Friday, but always a good reminder:
You fucking rock!! Keep us posted 🤘
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world Absolutely! I will write up something tomorrow on how it went :)
You rock! You are doing what many of us wish we could do
Awesome, good for you!
I love this. Thank you for using your time, energy, physical body and other resources available to you to do something that I believe can and will and does make a difference. Even just posting this you are showing others what is possible, so thank you! I think you are doing great and I wish you safety and success and to be effective in every conversation and encounter.
Thanks for your kind and motivating words :)
best of luck
fuck 'em up, champ
Rock on, and please keep us posted!
What can we do for you to help?
@ToiletFlushShowerScream@lemmy.world
I love this! I’m not sure, I will see how today goes and let you know what additional things would help me!
If you want anyone on the GOP to see it you have to put a misleading picture of a fetus on that trifold. Their vision is based on bullshit

Nice! Wish I could do the same but as noted, not everyone can afford to devote time for such awesome activities.
Thank you for your efforts.
Maliotakis?
You bet!
Thats a swing district. I am old enough to remember it going back and forth between dem and republican. Im old enough to remember when maliotakis was an assembly woman.
By all means do this, but orgniaze more people than just yourself so you dont look fringe. There are plenty of progressives in that district
i am curious how the annoying guy will arrange his third term to follow Putins and Xis career…
