Yes, I agree. Unfortunately the response in my city is not as well organized as I would like but I'm trying my best to be as involved as I can. A friend and I are also gathering a group of activated neighbors and planning to have regular meals together to discuss what else we can do.
So those are some ideas for folks looking for actions they can take. Look up what org is doing legal observing in your area and sign up. And the usual stuff like show up for protests, etc.
And honestly this scares me and I have a strong commitment to nonviolence but we may be at a point where we need to start training and organizing militias too. But I would be careful and very selective in this because there is a risk it could make the situation worse if people do not move carefully and strategically. I disagree with a lot of lemmings that armed conflict is a good solution to most problems but there may come a point where we fight back or we die and we need to be ready for that possibility. I don't think that day is today but it looks closer every day that passes.
Good on ya. You're having better luck than I did unfortunately. I couldn't even get my local friends interested in it. So I just offer advice online to folks, talk about the best thing they can do right now, and recommend reading up on the various resistance groups during WWII.
Yeah I have the same issue with much of my friend group. They just want to look away and focus on their lives. Sometimes you have to make new friends who are willing to do something. I find it hard but I just try to bring it up when I can and collect those folks who do express interest in doing something.
And you never know. I saw a former coworker last night at our ICE facility that I would have clocked as totally apolitical. Sometimes people are afraid to say how they really feel because it doesn't feel socially acceptable. And more and more people are starting to wake up to this.
