I was going to go but after spending almost an entire evening trying to find organizing information, I gave up and decided to sit this out.

There was no information on who was organizing this, who is backing it, and most importantly, who to contact. From an OPSEC standpoint, without a clear contact on who was organizing, it read like a false flag.

• website had no information outside of the event
• all POCs were “to be announced”
• website for my area was on carrd with only the image of the flyer
• all social media accounts are on techbro websites with no presence on mastodon or lemmy. Their bluesky account never directly answered the question of who was behind the account

I hope to God I’m wrong and hope that organizers are well intentioned but given our current political climate, I need to know who is putting this out there. I’m not the only one worried. Many others on Bluesky, reddit, Facebook, etc all raised concerns. One reply I read was “contact us on discord”.

Fuck. That.

There wasn’t even a link to their discord!!!

Edit: compare this to the protest happening in front of the Treasury

• clear organizer (Elizabeth Warren iirc – I stumbled across this yesterday and can’t seem to find the source) and promoted by other prominent Democrats
• shared publicly along Democrat official channels and accounts
• press notified and documented the event
