I attended the downtown local No Kings Day festivities in Northampton, Massachusetts, and estimate that some 1,500 people came out. I liked the crowds but
We need to swiftly transform No Kings from a Democratic Party spectacle to a grass roots resistance movement.
I only read the first paragraph. It sounded incredibly disingenuous. These rallies are impactful because of the turnout.
Without the democratic organization, it would not be remotely as impactful. Think that is exactly what the author of this article wants.
Also the difference between a democratic backed Indivisible group vs decentralized 50501. Indivisible brings a lot more people to protest.
I’ve never even heard of 50501. So that’s exactly what they want.
