    Start with work unions, join them, create them, then organize strikes in all workplaces. Bring the entire american economy to a standstill for a day, to start with. That’s literally the only thing they care about, so hit em where it hurts. Then u can start to make demands: the dissolution of ICE and this government, jail trump, tax the rich, national healthcare, fair wages and to break the stranglehold of billionaire tech companies’ influence over our government

      We need broader unions as well. Just citizen unions, consumer unions, investors’ unions. In addition to those workers unions.

      Plus a general strike. Any protest actions should have federated groups signing people up to cooperate on what they agree on on general forum citizen, et al unions. Just marching will achieve little at this point.
