I mean I could but no one is doing anything serious and it sounds corny as fuck but be the change you want to see in the world. The biggest protests this week in NYC was about Gaza, and look, I sympathize with the conflict but class solidarity over cultural dividing lines. No one is seeing the bigger picture that our collective voices are being stifled and we are in fact entering a Regime and it doesn’t matter if you are against/for Palestine our collective right to even protest is being attacked daily.

You might be better off finding a political group based in your area and helping them campaign for your district.

This is good advice. Each of us is a small force alone, but that force can be multiplied when we join forces with our comrades. In NY specifically, you may want to check out the Working Families Party: workingfamilies.org
They are represented on the ballot and typically endorse the more progressive Democratic candidates. They could have local resources to aid you with your protest and you may be able to gather additional protesters. You may also want to connect with your local mutual aid group as there are often politically progressive people involved with those.

I’m a proud card carrying member of WFP! They are unfortunately politically weak but I haven’t seen what they have been up to post election frankly. I will look more into that, thanks!
