As US President Donald Trump gears up for the first major military parade in the US in decades, protesters are planning "No Kings" events all over the country on Saturday.
What is everyone’s thoughts on this. I live in Olympia, Washington State capitol, but also only an hour drive from Seattle.
Where would be better to protest? I feel like the Olympia protest won’t get nearly as much media coverage and won’t have any direct interaction with ICE. Opposed to Seattle which has federal ICE buildings and will have a larger crowd/coverage.
Does it really matter since we’re aiming for non-violent action?
Go with Olympia. The more cities protesting the better. This country is big make the oppressors spread out their resources as much as possible. Rouse the rabble in as many places as you can. 10 protests with 1000 people each are a lot harder to control than one protest with 10000 people.
Plenty of people will be protesting in Seattle, represent your own city. It may not get as much media coverage, but it can motivate people in your local community and that’s the kind of movement we really need across the country.
