Let’s give each other strength to stand up to autocrats and bullies. Let’s demonstrate that we can organize and work together and that our numbers are strong.
Check out the protests in Georgia, 15th for 15 protests in Serbia, the struggle for freedom in Turkey, and let’s stand in global unison by shining our lights for freedom and democracy.
Gather 10 people and go to whereever you can actually get to.
- Best: a MAJOR CITY CENTER
- next best: your TOWN CENTER
- next best: at the end of your driveway.
- next best: step outside your door and shine your light for democracy!
Genuinely the worst protest idea I’ve ever seen. Impressive.
No kidding. Let’s make it when most people are going to bed, fighting their kids to go to bed, or just passed out from watching the evening news. Guaranteed that if someone held lights up in my neighborhood that I wouldn’t see a thing.
Well, it needs to be dark out. 8pm is dusk in a lot of places so that’s out. 9pm could work but it’s got the same issues that you list. 10pm for a lot of people is after they put kids to bed.
One of the points of this effort is to make it accessible to everyone. Literally you can step outside and just hold up your phone light. If you’re rural and gather 10 people and call the local news, maybe they’ll see you. If you’re in a big suburban sprawl area, you can join people in a park or in the nearest city center and be seen. Have you seen the pictures from Serbia’s 15th for 15? It’s powerful. Their PM literally submitted his formal resignation right after.
I’m no tankie but that list of freedom fighters looks like it was compiled by the CIA.
The lack of Palestine is indicative of liberal bullshit at best.
Def liberal perspective vs cia.
Palestine should be added, as they too are fighting an autocratic regime in Netanyahu. I’ll add.
Counterpoint: Palestinians gathering outside in organized groups and pointing lights at the night sky might earn them a bomb
Georgia: Similar to Maidan in Ukraine 10 yrs ago: the ruling party suspended bid for EU membership, despite 80% of the country wanting it.

Serbia 15th for 15: A corrupt government leads to 15 deaths through neglecting train infrastructure - Prime Minister OUSTED!
Turkey :
So Georgia could have the same bright future of Ukraine? Wow that’s progress.
Seriously tho it shows the impossibility of true liberation under global capitalism and imperialism.
