ICE Out for Good vigils and rallies are being tracked online by Indivisible, the group behind the No Kings protests

More than a thousand protests are planned across the US this Saturday and Sunday after an ICE agent killed US citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis this week.

“This weekend, people all over are coming together not just to mourn the lives lost to ICE violence, but to confront a pattern of harm that has torn families apart and terrorized our communities,” said Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, an organizer of “ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action”.

    Frankly I can’t think of any movement or resitance in history that didn’t involve either a protest or violence at some point.

    You refuse to accept that protesting builds movements to the point where they can create large action. Certainly was part of the civil rights movement.

    I definently support the people actually going to and organizing protesters a whole lot more than someone bitching online that this isn’t enough. Go ahead be the change you want to see

        The tactics of the civil rights movement worked THEN. They will not work NOW.

        General strikes and Civil disobedience won’t work now?

        Kinda running out of options that don’t involve guns bud.

        You just cannot accept that this country is done

        Oh gotcha you’re just not even wanting to try anything at all. Thanks for clearing that up.

        Nothing can happen until the November election.

        No Kings needs to organize and flip every red seat they can. It seems likely the House will flip. It’s POSSIBLE (but unlikely) the Senate will flip.

            That’s just the way elections work. There’s no process for changing things midstream and the Democrats are not in power.

            Once the election flips the House and possibly the Senate, then we can move forward.

            The #1 thing people need to do before November is organize. Get people registered, get people to vote. Make it clear that the Republican party is intellectually, fiscally, and morally bankrupt.

            Not sure what makes you think No Kings and 5051 are dead, they’re still going and will only get stronger as we get closer to election season.

            There will be a next election because elections are run at the state and local levels, the feds can’t stop it even if they wanted to.
