minus-square@AA5B@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•4 days agoJust the multiplier alone - take any individual protest and multiply it by over 2,000 … gets big fast. I actually had five very convenient choices should I go into Boston for the big one, to really showcase our strength? should I goto Lexington for the historical context, the commemorating the start of the revolutionary war, throwing off the yoke of the king? should I goto my ex’s town, if she had the kids? should I goto the nearby town threats a collection of malls, make a day of it and get shopping done? no, I’ll goto to MY town, stand up with MY town. We had a couple thousand very enthusiastic protesters in MY town and it was awesome
