I confess I am a bit skeptical of the effectiveness of marches /on their own/, especially if they don’t focus on specific demands.
I remember going to the massive marches against the Iraqi war, which obtained absolutely nothing.

Marches don’t have a great historical record of stopping fascism.
Still, I wish you all the best, I hope you mingle, find others you can team-up with, and that I’m wrong.

Holding down the fort while my mom’s in the hospital, but I’ll be with you in metaphorical spirit. Give ’em hell.
