I was just at a protest for Palestine for over 5 hours. (hexbear.net)

Damn, this was a record for me.

It was a rally and march for Palestine at the city nearby.

@[email protected] might know about it, but I don't think they're here now (I'm just tagging in case they are).

Ask me about it if you want, but right now I'm "venting" about something positive; I'm really proud of myself for keeping up the pressure regarding Gaza and helping to do that.

Definitely join an org or activist group if you can.

That's all. Cheers!

About three for me they're still giving speeches

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, they do that sometimes.

We could've started the march early, but dammit, they, err, love their speeches.

Some were legitimately good, people with actual family in Palestine. It makes showing up to protest feel less pointless when you hear how hopeful it makes them to see a strong showing.

Yeah, I have a friend in Palestine as well, though of course, he's not directly in Gaza.

I think this is all apart of movement-building as well and sometimes marching in the streets is how you accumulate more people to your movement.

Hell, people pass out flyers and join an org afterwards; I've seen the convos that sometimes happen.
