Online, the rally in Santa Clara County was to be at San Jose City Hall. Did anyone show up? What is the plan in Santa Clara County to remove Republican Trump enablers from the United States House and Senate across the country? Is there a member of Congress or even a city councilmember in Santa Clara County leading the charge?

Answering my own first question (above), a San Jose newspaper has a video posted online showing San Jose marchers - looks like a few thousand. Did anyone sign them up for further action of any kind? Does anyone imagine that just marching once a year is going to get rid of Trump or Pence or their corrupt enablers? There are 1.9 million residents in Santa Clara County. What did the rest do Saturday morning? What will they do going forward? Give a few dollars online? Well, that would be better THAN NOTHING. How about giving to ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org?

I was one of the approximately 20,000 marchers in San Jose. It is rather insulting to assume that those of us who marched haven’t done anything else. Showing up at a march like this makes a statement and is also energizing for my other forms of activism. Getting out the vote for the midterms will be key!

Great "Abigalvr" that you marched and plan on helping in the Congressional midterms. You are ONE marcher from Mountain View. That is a start. Maybe another will chime in here. Were names and contact information collected from willing marchers? Was political literature distributed? Did anyone discuss HOW to beat Republican House and Senate candidates in swing districts and states - beyond getting out the vote? Who is going to run against Republican incumbents. What issues should be raised? What voter registration is needed? How can the challengers get free media coverage? What opposition research can be acquired on the incumbents? To which organization do you suggest people give political donations?
Don't miss out
