As far as I'm concerned these are opportunities to find left curious libs and agitate them into joining an organization like DSA or PSL or whatever that is organizing resistance at the local level.

If this is gonna take everyone to turn around then going where the people are to try and organize them is your best bet.

Some of the people who go to these will meet and decided to do something useful

Hopefully...

Really, No Kings has been coopted by rich Neoliberals who will never ask us to do something impactful with our numbers.

1. Public protests express implicit power.
They are a threat, demonstrating to those in power the magnitude of what is to come.

2. Public protests increase participation.
They express a promise to current and future participants that they have comrades who will show up, stand beside them, hold the line, and expect the same in return.

3. Public protests increase organization.
Onsite and post-event recruitment is not only the primary means of increasing participation, it remains the most organic and hard-to-digitally-replicate method of expanding organizational efforts on account of network effects.

4. Public protests are grounded.
They represent a ground truth condition that anyone can see for themselves. There are numerous effective strategies for obscuring, sandbagging, or sabotaging public campaigns conducted exclusively on digital networks and platforms, but it is next to impossible to conceal public displays of flesh-and-blood human beings collecting en masse.
