I have to agree: there is no better way to demotivate people for a mass rally than to require an email address (for various reasons). No Kings is really fucking up here by not even telling people where the various protests will be. You must make attending protests convenient.

I have no doubt things could get bad enough that the political opposition and civil society will start to seem suitably responsive to the threat. But that's precisely why they should be acting that way now. www.offmessage.net/p/the-median...
