No one seriously thinks these are anything like concentration camps, and that's why most people won't protest them.
If the country goes whaere it looks like it is going
Eventually we each are going to have to decide
When a resistance group is formed ..
Will you join?
And what are you willing to do?
Curiously I'm having to deal with this very conflict. I want to join the resistance, but I'm (literally) allergic to sunlight (which precludes street demonstrations) and I'm a goblin when it comes to in-person social development, such as organizing.
The mutual aid groups in Sacramento are scarce, so it's difficult to ask them.
Do I make useful memes and infographics? Not sure.
Curiously, the nearest ICE hq is in San Francisco, and there are resistence movements there interfering with ICE action.
Probably cook.
Travel along with the resistance, tending to troops, fixing meals, fetching ammo, just a worker bee in the military machine.
I was hoping at the No Kings demonstration at the California capitol, there'd be a pavilion giving away free tacos, and I'd volunteer to help make them. Alas, no one else acted on the idea.
Option two was to find one of the organizers and man a free water bottle station. But those didn't happen either. Demonstrators were just advised to bring snacks and water.
Only after the fact did I notice the local mutual aid orgs had very little online presence. So, yeah, I'm back to researching. If I do ever find the Rebel Alliance, then conversations will be had. For now, I'm looking at groups like Indivisible with limited success.
