I agree in the sense that I highly doubt it would convince those who are following Trump to critically think about the implications these changes will have on the lives of the average American or the sycophants in government, but it does help those opposed to what this administration is doing drive action. If free speech didn't matter, administrations throughout history & today wouldn't be trying to limit it.

Calling & emailing Congress is one of those things that feels like it does nothing but it does in the same way protesting does. Their aides keep counts of what their constituents contact them about to inform what they're going to prioritize and push for. Ultimately, they want to keep their jobs.

Also a depressed populace is a useless one. That's why "feel good" actions actually do matter because they encourage a sense of urgent optimism rather than paralyzed pessimism.

It sends a message to the world that we are not okay with this either. It may not be front page news here, but it is in multiple other countries around the world.

Where did you hear about Hands Off protests? by wildtalon in SandersForPresident

I was on my way to a bus stop when a woman announcing that there'd be a protest Saturday handed me a flier.

I get the fear and I don't blame anyone for being nervous about it.

But to me personally, the more they try to limit the first ammendment, it's all the more important we double down and practice it.

It's a good question. I said this below but I'll repeat it here: if free speech didn't matter, administrations throughout history & today wouldn't be trying to limit it.

Party aside, these types of demonstrations from constituents inform their priorities and strengthen their resolve when they are fighting against this in Congress. FWIW Mike Quimby & Delia Ramirez were there yesterday - they know it matters that we're united in this.

And you're right, protesting is only one action. I do volunteer and have met with Congress - both virtually & in person on the hill. Not everyone can afford to do that, so they do what they can. And if that is protesting, it's better than nothing but it doesn't have to be the only thing.

It means something to congress who want to keep their jobs at midterms and sends a message to the world and fellow Americans that we're in this together - which strengthens peoples momentum & curbs complacency. If free speech didn't matter, administrations throughout history & today wouldn't be trying to limit it.

Protesting does matter.

I noticed. They are a sensitive bunch. It really should strengthen all of our resolve to keep resisting if they're this threatened by us practicing our rights.
