Why is there no "Protest Info" forum on DU?

[flibbitygiblets]

I believe people would be more apt to show up if we knew where the hell to go.

I read somewhere on DU that there's a protest at the WH tonight. Avenatti is going to be there.

Why don't we're have a forum dedicated to protests in the Activism area? It's hard to find this info because it's not centralized.

Would any one else be willing to host such a forum?

3. Thank you Brooklynite!

4. Definitely

I ask about protest details and am told I need to join some Facebook group organizing the protest

So If I don't already know about this Facebook group, I'd never be notified?

And no like there are good reasons not to use Facebook?

10. Ironic that FB, who is complicit, is the go-to place for protest info

DU should be a leader in directing action, not just a place to commiserate. IMO.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE DU. But I'd love us to be a source of activist information, and we're are not.

5. There's an Activist Headquarters.

Would that work?

8. Unfortunately, there's no protest info there

And there should be.

9. Perhaps if we all made an effort to collect and post info.

I'd be glad to pitch in.

The whole point of activism is to play an active role in getting things done.

Who is with us?

12. Great Idea...announcements can drop off the page pretty quickly.
