The No Kings movement has announced a nationwide event on 14 June, directly counter-programming Donald Trump’s 80th birthday celebrations and a Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) bout on the south lawn of the White House.

The centerpiece is a 90-minute concert at New York’s Town Hall featuring entertainer Bette Midler, songwriter Patti Smith, actor Jane Fonda, musician Rufus Wainwright and commentator Joy Reid – streaming free nationwide, while local groups host watch parties across the country. The event is co-presented by the Committee for the First Amendment, a coalition of artists and cultural figures, and frames the US’s 250th anniversary as a moment of democratic reckoning.

Awesome man. So what makes you think protestors aren't also doing that

My point is from my experience, the only planning is planning for the next protest. I hope people are thinking more about what they can do that might get better results.

Ok... Again what makes you think they are not, other than your own smug sense of superiority?

Haven't seen any wide movements from no kings, 50501 or Indivisible. Just protests. Why would you think I'm smug if I wish the organizers would focus and use resources on other things? Building communities is a good thing. Protests without any real actions is pointless.
