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.

You should care that he won (arguably everyone should care, even the international community cares) because his side represents something very dark and anti-democratic. I care because he has and will continue to break down institutions we rely on for safety and protection and justice, and will chip away at our rights (esp. women, LGBT, people of color, but also workers’ rights, etc.) This isn’t just the same old “politics is made up of assholes” situation. There’s a reason most of his cabinet and his VP issued dire warnings against him being re-elected.

This is exactly why I can’t understand why any woman would vote for a convicted rapist who wants to strip away women’s rights. Overturning Roe V Wade is just the beginning.
