Not sure what to say. Not sure whether to continue posting.
Austin, come together to support the protestors who attended. Come together to support the family of the protestor who died fighting for what’s right.
Stay safe.

this is hard to think about, but you need to understand this before you show up: there are people who want to kill protestors. this page & pages like it are public; white supremacists can see these posts too. assume that any protest could be targeted. stay alert & have a plan

Marching is important for visibility but without sustained, organized action a movement can’t survive. We can’t stop fighting for abortion access.
I’ve made a thread of orgs that have been working to make abortion legal & accessible, starting with

right wing protestors are currently at the Capitol & will probably be there until Wednesday so be safe
Few dozen demonstrators at the Texas Capitol early this afternoon. 2nd amendment advocates say they don’t want to be associated with the Jan. 6th US Capitol insurrection and they urge peace today.

Activism—esp in-person—is draining both emotionally and physically and it’s not for everyone. No shame for doing what you need to do.
Marching is only a very small part of enacting change. Sharing info is important. Donating is important. Contacting reps is important.
