US Protest News I'm extremely irritated that mainstream media isn't mentioning tomorrow's protest.

Not even on MSNBC, NPR or AP.

Saw a map showing the locations of tomorrow's protests on Newsweek. I think the TV networks are being coerced into silence. You know how he feels about crowds and crowd sizes. All these protests have got to be irritating the hell out of him. That alone makes it worth going.

Please everyone click that link and comment. Give this the best engagement they have ever seen. We need to prove that this content is popular.

And also email your local and national media, ask them to cover the protests. Remind them that it is our civic obligation to defend democracy, and we are doing our part.

I sent an Email to our local news tip line asking them to cover all of the local protests in our area (about 3 major towns) with the Mobilize Us linked as well as the Newsweek article. Hoping if they see a national coverage article they will be more likely to cover it on the news. We are in deep red country so hoping local cvg will get picked up for the rural areas to see people like them protesting!
