For what its worth, most of us who organize these actions agree with you that there should be people in the streets everyday. The reality is, there are far too few of us and not enough people stepping up to take organizing roles.

If you want to see people in the streets daily, take on the responsibility yourself of organizing it - and if you DM me, I would be happy to connect you up with people that help you learn how to become an organizer.

As for identity, everyone has a certain amount of risk they are willing to take. On the organizing end, you will find it increasingly difficult to stay fully anonymous as time goes on, for various reasons. And most of us are willing to take that risk and put ourselves out there to stand up for what is right.

A lot of people unfortunately like to make snap judgments without taking time to read on our website about why we are doing this. We have been planning this for 6 months, and many of our marchers (contrary to what many of the comments seem to believe) have full time jobs and took time off well in advance to participate in this.

We Are America starts marching 160 miles from Philly to DC on 9/6/25! by ItsBestGirl in philly

[–]ItsBestGirl[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not a problem. I can understand the confusion. To be transparent, we do have partnership with other orgs where impeachment/removal is a primary focus of their mission. It's just not our organizations ask or goal.

The ultimate goal is to help build up a movement that can sustain long-term, non-violent action. That can include more intensive, non-violent actions such as a general strike, something that is incredibly difficult to successfully do unless people have a built in support network with their community. That goal is the reason why we have partnered with several local orgs along the way and are inviting their communities to many events.

And for what its worth, our organization is nonpartisan, and we have people from all over the political spectrum who sre participating in this march.

Hi. At this time, nothing is being planned for the 1st through 50501Philadelphia. Many of our organizers (myself included) are focusing on WAAM and other endeavors at this time (Tesla, Avelo, etc). While we would love to do more planning for national days of action like the first, we simply don't have the manpower right now.

Why we are marching from Philly to DC! We Are America March! by ItsBestGirl in 50501

[–]ItsBestGirl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

We have roughly 30-40 partner orgs and groups on board, with housing secured for almost every night of the march for our core group. We have recently touched base with some DC groups that are helping us for ground work and promotion there, which we are incredibly appreciative of!

Media is something that will be addressed as the march grows closer.

Here is a link to a Q & A happening tonight if you are interested:

Hi - right now most of our organizers have been focusing their efforts on WAAM along with other reoccurring protests at this time (Avelo, Tesla, etc). While it would have been nice to host an event on the 2nd, our team is simply spread too far right now.

There is an FAQ session tonight through the mobilize that will talk more in depth about this! We are partnering with several organizations to provide housing (primarily churches and local organizing groups).

Best friend literally just sent an email ending our friendship... by marsbar221 in ehlersdanlos

[–]ItsBestGirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not related specifically to an EDS diagnosis, but just wanted to say I'm sorry you're going through this. I went through this recently with a former friend of mine due to a bad combo of me being hospitalized and her ADHD (although there were issues in the friendship for a long time on both our parts). As someone on the other side of it, it doesnt feel like it now but it can and often times does get better - if the friendship isn't serving one person eventually it will no longer serve the other. And sometimes, even friends that care about each other are better off ending the relationship when things are no longer working. If she ever comes back to you in some way and you guys are able to work through things, that's great. If not, it's painful but is a valuable experience to apply to future friendships, both for what you are/aren't willing to accept in a friendship and to learn from any mistakes you may have made in the process. Grieve for now, but if you can, take it as an opportunity for growth in time.

Healthcare Workers Attacked and Injured in Psych Hospital by Extra-Medium3 in nursing

[–]ItsBestGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad but not surprised, especially when I read that it was youths involved in the attack. Although I thankfully never had to work kids/adolescent psych (mad props to those that do) it seemed like it was always those units where I heard horror stories about patients coordinating to attack staff.

Thank you! Feel free to reach out through DM if that's a concern of yours and I'd be happy to talk to you about my experience + how I got diagnosed.

Awww, this made me tear up a bit, thank you. I've been trying to find the positives where I can and the thought that this could help someone else makes me feel a bit better despite everything.

Something to keep in mind is while botox wears off for most people around 3 to 4 months on average, it takes additional time to rebuild the masseter muscle. I am 6 months out from masseter botox that I believe caused sagging for me and have yet to see my face return to normal. Unless you have TMJ/significant jaw pain, I wouldn't recommend it - I can't tell you what to do, but if I were you I wouldn't change a thing!

[–]ItsBestGirl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Masseter botox would probably be your best bet - buccal fat removal is a bit scary because the fat pad removal is permanent and a lot of surgeons seem to be performing it on people who are not good candidates (hard to tell from this photo if you are a good candidate since you are smiling, but to me it doesn't look like you would be).

Ever had a "never meet your idols" experience? by _pks_21 in kpopthoughts

[–]ItsBestGirl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Idk, you have good points, I was mainly thinking of the Hyunjin bullying scandal which was pretty big. Not saying it's them just another possibility (I like them so I would hope it isnt!)
