[Pretty sure I asked this before] Have you ever participated in any political protest/demonstration?

Yeah. I was in one yesterday that began near my building. I support legal defense funds and activism groups, but I don't want to be in crowd protests because I'm a coward. I also know there's a plague right now. It was the anniversary of a race massacre, a black trans man was murdered by cops on Wednesday just as pride month was approaching. So I didn't think watching from my window was the "right thing" either. There didn't seem to be a right thing.

No but my cousin was at the women's March in 2016 to protest Orange Hitler. A bunch of her co-workers all bussed there together.

Nah, I think if I was really fed up I'd write a letter to my MP or raise a formalised Government Petition (online). But tbh I just don't care that much about any of it to get to that point. Probably just to protect my own anxiety at this point.

not yet, but I donate to grassroots organizers, protest bail funds, and offer transportation and financial help for healthcare costs if people get hurt. it's important to me to stay involved even if I'm not present
