After trump came to power for a second time I was done with protesting.

I had done so much of it during his first term that I burned out. I had decided that it didn’t work. Then I started studying how to fight fascism and it turns out that protesting is the number one way to stop this tyrannical takeover.

From my research I found that there are three tangible ways to fight fascism : Community, Joy & Social Proof (show in public what you believe - protest, make signs, wear it). I am a multitasker so I was happy to realize that Freedom Fridays accomplishes all three at once!

And it’s so easy because they are local protests. You don’t have to go far to share your beliefs. You pick the spot. Start with a few friends and invite others to join as they pass. Start a mailing list and remind them every week. Find a backup person to be the leader if you can’t go some weeks.
