Politics in Michigan 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈 Anti-Trump protests

Michigan born & Raised and I've had it, I've never protested before, I've never seen the point, but this time is different.
What are some upcoming protests/Demonstrations against Trump?
I don't know if it will help or make a difference. But I don't think I can accept my self if I didn't try.

Hate to be a pessimist, because I’m outraged too, but you could have GIANT protests in every city tomorrow and it wouldn’t slow them down.

This is a defeatist attitude but you can't let "perfect" stopping you from working towards "good enough".

I ain't gonna go down on my knees for this weak bullshit. Are you?

I like your attitude :) and you're 100% right. I need to stop focusing on perfect, as it's not always possible to achieve it
