Anti-Nazi counterprotest in Los Angeles this Saturday

[rachelmanija]

The "alt-right," aka LITERAL NAZIS like the ones who murdered Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, is planning a protest in Los Angeles this Saturday. Here's what I found when I went looking for a counter-protest. I will be there.

Obviously, this could be dangerous. But I am not letting LITERAL NAZIS march in my city unopposed. Besides, it could be a great opportunity:



Please let me know if you're going, so we can rideshare or try to meet up or something.

There's also this, that a friend linked, later this month: http://brokeassstuart.com/blog/2017/08/15/san-franciscans-plan-to-dance-in-face-of-white-nationalist-rally/

Awesome.

Have you seen the sousaphone guy? I laaaaaughed -- he marched in parallel to the Nazis and played the most ludicrous comical accompaniment. It made them look ridiculous and that is great.

Abso-fragging-lutely to that.

Given the location, they may be RIDICULOUSLY outnumbered.

I hope so! :D

If the spouse's mother is back from the hospital and doesn't need him, I will try to go. But it might be a few days before we know.

[rachelmanija]

Great!

Wish I could be there. Good luck and stay safe. ♥

[rachelmanija]

Thank you!

[grammarwoman]

Steve would definitely approve.

[rachelmanija]

I am really hoping someone will have that image on a sign.

Good luck, and thank you.

[rachelmanija]

Thanks!

[torachan]

Good luck!

I wish I could go, but I have work. :-/

[luzula]

Good for you, and good luck!

Alas, actual Nazis have been in my town and I have done nothing. This is partly because I don't have Facebook and thus often don't learn about the demonstrations and counter-demonstrations, but also because I do lots of other activism and you can't do everything.

[nenya_kanadka]

Let us know how it goes! <3

[rydra_wong]

Go you. Stay safe.

Was looking for something like this earlier this evening. I have no idea what parking will be like. It was hell the last time I was there, and it was just a weekday.

Solidarity; I'm going to the one in Berkeley.
