I’m increasingly wondering why people in the US aren’t taking to the streets in their thousands.

I’d also like to share a poem by Martin Niemöller, who was a pastor in Germany during the Nazi regime and even supported the Nazis at the beginning:

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me (Martin Niemöller)

    wdym? Every single week there’s protests. Are you part of an org? If you’re part of an org maybe you’ll hear about them more?

      I’m very glad that they’re so many protests. I live in Europe and searched the news for protests in the USA but didn’t found information about it, except the protests against Tesla dealerships.

      Keep fighting!

        There are also Tesla protests growing in Europe (and Canada, and more)! Musk’s influence threatens more than just the US, so we must all step up. The Tesla Takedown protest movement started in the US, but it’s now becoming international. Here’s a map of the latest ones in Europe

        Here’s the site with that info along with a guide on how to plan one around you if you don’t see one
