voteinorout on Instagram: "#KrisGoldsmith says #NoKings protests can be powerful, but only if they turn into real organizing. The goal is not just showing up, it’s building local networks that last beyond one day of #protests and grow into sustained #activism. Goldsmith argues “the protest is not the goal,” urging people to use these events to meet others and build community. His strategy is simple: connect with “three people” and form small groups that keep meeting and expanding. He points to his free project, Veterans Fighting Fascism, which includes reading lists, guides, and step by step tools to help people organize locally. The idea is to turn a one day protest into ongoing action, where small groups grow over time into larger, coordinated communities. — Don’t waste your time at a No Kings Protest. If you are going there just to march — you’re wasting your time and energy. Go there with a plan, to make friends and build community. And commit to meeting within the next week. One of the tools you can use to start organizing is the Antifascist Book Club. Bring copies that you can print from Veterans Fighting Fascism’s website. #antifascistbookclub nokings notyrants nokings nokingsdayprotest Follow @krisgoldsmith85 for more.
