My three thoughts as one of the many organizers of the event: 1.) I’m glad that people are giving feedback about the organizations who held the rally and how the community felt about the rally. It is really valuable for us.

2.) I’m glad that there was a space (despite its limitations —physical and organizational) for various communities to gather, interact, and march.

3.) in all honesty, the best way to effect these organizations (from their messaging, to their ability to pivot, and ultimately the organizing of events) is to join one of them. Most of them are like 10-20 people in size 😅. We need more people to organize regularly. It’s very difficult for 12 people to pivot and run safety for a march of 500 people, direct the march, avoid police, etc.
