I heard this suggestion in a podcast and wanted to voice it here: If you're in LA and part of the protests, consider whether you can reach out to the troops who have been sent without housing, supplies, or water. Buy a case of water bottles and hand them out. Gather some friends and do a pop-up tent with lunch.
While doing it, fly American flags, display your protest signs, and thank the troops for their service. We have no kings here, and we fight fascism - but we also want to be kind, and to care about people in need, and to show respect for our military when the administration which sent them has no respect for them at all.
Remember, we're fighting for human decency in the face of cruelty. Let's try to fight with kindness, too.
