The way forward
There is a call for protests at all 50 states Capitols on 2/5. All over the world people are in the streets protesting. I believe the world might be changing and somehow all the things in my head might be coming true.
I want our children to grow up beyond laws, borders, violence, slavery, and hatred.
I oppose human mediocrity.
I believe we are meant for so much more.
This entry resonates a lot with me. I am so, so scared for our future, but I want to hope we can make things better. I protested before for my own rights and for those who are facing bigger challenges like wars, famine, genocides. I am ready to do that again. At any time, at any cost.
@shiningollie please do not be afraid. I know that what’s happening is and will cause a lot of suffering out there, but the people will always overcome because we have way more numbers than they do. I believe we need to overcome everything this time. All the bullshit. I literally think this time it might be all or nothing for the world for the way forward. And I think we’re going to win.

God I wish I could go to this! But I have no way to get there (it’s 26 miles to the Capitol building) and I can’t stand for long. But I’m definitely there in spirit. The only problems is: W said he never paid attention to protest marches and I’ll betcha the Orange Felon feels the same.
@ghostdancer everyone has their place in resisting evil. Even if it’s just believing in the cause, resisting mediocrity and complacency, rejecting violence and hatred… Even if they don’t pay attention, someone will and maybe they’ll get the courage to do the same. I don’t know. I’ve never fought fascism before for real. Just find a way to lead yourself, and that’s something no one can take.
@sleeponflyon Thanks. I have subscribed to organizations that are in the forefront of fighting cr@p of this kind but I wish I could do more!
@ghostdancer it’s an understandable feeling, but we need everyone, regardless of their roles or capabilities.

I’ve been searching for info for my state march and can’t find anything, although I know it is happening, just not what time. I don’t do FB, that’s probably why I can’t find info. But like you wrote, even if we can’t be there, we can lead ourself and that can have an effect on others as well.
@elkay it was super hard for me to find info, look up 50501, most matches seem like they’re starting around 11/12. I’m not sure how organized this event everywhere but I saw there were some speakers presenting at my location
@sleeponflyon Thank you. Found it!
