Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

There’s so many more protests than the map or lists show. For example my city only showed 3 in nearby and nothing for in the city, but when i searched there is one downtown starting at 10am. See up to date by searching your city/town on https://www.fiftyfifty.one/events

Nice. There's an event happening the day I move in to my new house about 300 feet from my house.

I'm already on my way, but only to a small rally in my German hometown. That's important for us too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all the friends we still have in the US and hope for a lively turnout!

Going to be a beautiful, sunny day here. Nothing better to do than go hang out with some like minded humans.

Make this the most upvoted post on Lemmy yet

Last I checked, it seemed like Atlanta had three different ones (the one mentioned here, another one nearby at Piedmont Park starting at 10AM, and another one at the state capitol starting at 2PM).

I'm confused about which one(s) to attend and why they aren't combined into one bigger protest.

[–] DandomRude@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Presumably due to safety regulations imposed by the city council. Just a guess.
