Nationside Map for protests available on the website, just scroll down:

You do not have to fill anything out, just find the address, and show up.

Bring water and snacks, wear a mask, and put your phone in a faraday bag if you can.

Do you think it'd be possible to add a link to the 50501.Chat Lemmy in your Reddit or Facebook pages as well? perhaps in the sidebar (or automod comment, if you have one)?

I think it's important to get people off of non-federated closed source platforms, as it's only a matter of time before they censor us to slow the movement down, but it's been hard to get people aware that the Lemmy exists.

We have a West Virginia sub-community here: https://50501.chat/c/West_Virginia

You absolutely do not have to fill that out. This is a decentralized movement and they'd be more than happy if you just showed up. I assume the RSVP is just to notify you if something changes like the location or maybe a cancellation of the event, but I'd just check the site one last time before you head out.

I won't argue the Revolutionary war, but in my opinion, in WW1 and WW2 the UK was in practice a parliamentary democracy, even if it was/is 'officially' a constitutional monarchy.

You have much stronger feelings about this than I do, especially since I didn't write the original blurb in the post body to begin with.

We're just trying to get people amped up to resist our current regime, and I suspect the person who wrote that was trying to tap into that classic and slightly cringe 'Rah rah, America!" patriotism that we're so well known for.

Thank you for joining us!

In what way? The tyrant king part?

EDIT: Ah, I see what you mean now. It took me a while to get what you meant since I consider the UK during WW2 to be a form of democracy. You may have technically still been a constitutional Monarchy, but it was a parliamentary democracy in practice, as they are today, and have been pretty much since 1928.

In every century in American history, the patriots of our armed services have risen to defend democracy and freedom during extraordinary crises.

In the 18th century, Americans fought for independence from a tyrant king.

In the 19th century, Americans fought a civil war to uphold the proposition that all people are created equal, regardless of race.

In the 20th century, Americans fought on the shores of Europe to defend democracy and freedom from the forces of fascism.

American patriots now face the crisis of our time: a traitor in the White House.

The current President of the United States has brought dishonor to America, has disrespected and abused the veterans who swore an oath to defend the Constitution, has violated his own oath of office, has allied himself with cruel dictators, has acted at every opportunity as an undemocratic tyrant, and is therefore unfit to be the president of a free people.

On June 6th, the Anniversary of D-Day, we call on all patriotic people of Massachusetts to assemble on Boston Common with veterans to protest the tyranny of a would-be king and to honor the sacrifice of the brave soldiers who fought and died for the democracy we must continue to protect.
