Gather everyone at Lafayette Square, Washington D.C. and have a few camera people nearby livestreaming.

I wonder if they'd do a Tiananmen: USA Edition

How about 10000 1 person marches?

What about one group of a million people. That would be a proper protest, the european way

Yeah, I wonder how LAPD can be unable to handle ten groups of 1000 people in a metropolitan area of almost 20 million people, I would assume ten groups of 1000 people is more like a quiet weekend.

Better to have a hundred groups of 10 000 people.

Decentralized tactic against a strong centralized opponent.

Divide and conquer

Great to start and organize many people quickly, but it has to evolve into a strong opposition chain of command else it burns out rapidly. Ask OP where Belarus went with it.

Those would with against the LAPD, but would be less effective against the National Guard or Marines.
