ICE Out for Good vigils and rallies are being tracked online by Indivisible, the group behind the No Kings protests
More than a thousand protests are planned across the US this Saturday and Sunday after an ICE agent killed US citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis this week.
“This weekend, people all over are coming together not just to mourn the lives lost to ICE violence, but to confront a pattern of harm that has torn families apart and terrorized our communities,” said Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, an organizer of “ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action”.
Citizens ARE standing up for themselves now, that’s what the protests and elections are for. 😉
Protests are only taking action if they are disruptive. Standing in a corner with signs while people go about their day is as effective as sharing memes on Lemmy.
Wait for Elections is waiting 10 months, not taking action now.
Disruptive protests only turn off your intended audience. You THINK you’re disrupting the powers that be, you aren’t, they take no notice of you and you turn away the people who would ordinarily be on your side.
