Had a really good time, I'm really glad we made signs :)

I'm not awake during the day generally so I'm kinda thinking now, maybe a way I can contribute is making signs for people to pass out or give away as a way I can contribute

There were people out handing out cookies and donuts which was pretty cool too :)

I can appreciate and respect that. And I 1000000% agree that a lot of political action these days is divisive and counter productive because the goal is to bring people in and increase the number of people who stand for your cause, not shut people off. Thats something I feel super strongly about. People absolutely spend a lot of time speaking at people they disagree with in order to gain approval from those they already agree with.

The other reply is my list of hopes for involvement. I can completely understand wanting people to think about what their end goal is. I think saying things like "great work! Don't forget it takes more than marches but keep it up!" Is super helpful and makes it easier for people to remember that there's a bigger picture beyond marching with signs.

I want to find more ways to get involved, but I'm starting with small things, and I do believe those small things (peaceful protests and demonstrations) have value, even if they're not enough on their own. I think they're one piece of a puzzle, one strategic tool, and you kinda have to use them all and use them at the right times and in the right places

https://lemmy.world/comment/17693663 I dunno how to link to a comment in an instance agnostic way, but this is the comment where I list the things I'm hoping to achieve by going to a protest and making that very visible so people see that protests are happening
