15. It costs $$$$

Wed Dec 25, 2024, 06:45 PM

Wednesday

You need permits and people need to travel. Protesters also have jobs. Effective protests utilize the media. An unsuccessful protest is one that fails to attract the media. Anyway, every few days is not feasible. However every few months is workable.

However, don't ask me to organize it!
Also my response to requests: "Will you organize it?"
