Ok. I'm too chicken shit to actually show up in person to one of these protests.

What's the next best thing I can do to meaningfully help?

Can you share what exactly your concerns are so that folks could suggest a mitigation strategy?

wear a mask and dark shades to stay anonymous and stand in quietly in back then. the trick is numbers. you don't have to heft a sign and chant slogans and be a spectacle if you don't want to, you can just fill space and it will still help.

Wikipedia is weird. In an article that lists the largest protests that have occurred in the United States, they still feel the need to tell you that each one of these protests, that are on a list of protests that occurred in the United States, in fact occurred in the United States.
