(14,923 posts)I've been to 8 so far, including No Kings June 14 downtown Chicago. The crowd that day was huge, but we need millions more to participate.
Of one thing I am absolutely certain:
Physical force and violence are not the answer.
Nonviolence was the successful strategy for MLK in the Civil Rights movement. Violence would have played right into the hands of the forces of repression then, and the same applies now.
Perhaps a better alert system can be organized to warn citizens on the approach of ICE terrorist thugs, and for citizens to converge on the scene PEACEFULLY.
My governor JB Pritzger has been stressing how vitally important it is to refrain from violence, and he is absolutely correct on that.
Violence and physical confrontation is what these fascists WANT and NEED to ramp up their use of force. Trump is itching to declare martial law leading up to the 2020 midterms.
