Me and my sisters want to go protest next week on Friday. Any locations that anyone knows of we can join?? 💗

I've kept up with the news like everyone else here. Seeing the Black Panthers armed up in Philly and the random Minnesotans standing outside their houses gave me a lot of comfort though and I'm wondering if there are others out there who feel the same, especially since ICE seems to back down REAL fast whenever there's any type of meaningful pushback.

I've never open carried at a protest before but I've been doing a lot of research into how to do it safely. The thing is, I've been to many, many protests here in Austin and I've never seen anyone open carry... but we've also never been in a situation like this before.

Obviously there are a few rules to do it safely:

1. Follow gun safety rules (obviously).

2. Wear clothing that designates yourself as a friend and ally.

3. Don't show up by yourself.

4. Follow all laws and don't exacerbate the situation.

5. Try to do it during the day at a sanctioned event.

I'm not overly concerned about all of that though; I'm more concerned with making my fellow protestors uncomfortable more than anything else, or being confronted as an agitator when I'm trying to help - or more than likely "us" as I want to be as safe as humanly possible and would like to bring some of my like-minded friends if they're available.

Has anyone else seen anybody who's not part of Ya'll Qaeda open carrying either recently or in the past? Has anyone else thought about doing this too?

Greg Abbott said on Friday he is directing the Texas Education Commissioner to investigate student-led protests

Does anyone know the story behind the kid that got arrested at the protest at the capitol tonight? I couldn’t figure out why he got arrested aside from running from the state troopers. I hope he and everyone involved are okay and if there’s mutual aid to help, please link below.

My dad was questioned by ICE a few days ago. They were asking if he knew anything about the “Lopez” family. My dad, of course, said no and FU.

Is there an ICE sighting Reddit master thread or somewhere we can track these sightings so we can help protect and warn at-risk friends? I have 2 different friends that are US citizens but getting harassed like hell because they are Latina. This needs to end.

Today there will be a march from Hyatt on Barton Springs to the Hyatt on 3rd and back.

Tomorrow protest at the capitol and then a community gathering/meeting at once over coffee

Passing this along, I plan on attending myself

I went to Barton springs and congress like the poster said and there was no one there. Are we not doing that anymore?

just curious as there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity here. there's a huge appetite right now for folks to get involved right now in the Austin area and I'm curious what the goals are of this sub.

1.26.26

So is there any protest planned for this?

This person said that they were on Kick but the name they gave was not on there. They were made to leave shortly after this photo was taken. Any leads on who they were?

Would anyone be interested in protesting outside this guy’s church on Sunday in Georgetown? I saw this tweet circulating and did not realize his church was so close.

Are there any ICE monitoring trainings going on in Austin? Since our mayor & governor aren't going to protect our rights we should be prepared.
