Posting this here due to how important it is. Sorry that it's off-topic, mods, but we need as many eyes on this as humanly possible right now.
Added to the main posts. Thanks.
Unfortunately some have it hidden, not sure of their motivation in doing that (to keep the police from knowing where it'll be?) but hopefully it doesn't dampen the turnout too much.
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!
We understand! Hopefully you can join in next time if there's one on a weekend.
