Protesting\Nonviolent Resistance: Should also be at Alderman, City Council, Board of Supervisors, and not just the Mayor Residence.

Nonviolent Resistance Across the Board



Protests should start with your lowest level representatives in your community not just your local Mayors or Governors residence.

Budget allocation and approval also involves your lowest level elected representative in your communities from L.A., Chicago, Houston, Boston, D.C., and other jurisdictions.  Your Alderman, Neighborhood Council members, County\City Council members, Judges, etc. 

Our elected officials are all part of the community, the 'Whole Community' in the system, and process.

Protests – Planning and Response Training. Yes there was and is protest planning for public officials

https://cdp.dhs.gov/vilt

Long Term Protests – Planning and Response
Focuses on key issues confronting planners, in all disciplines, who deal with issues arising at long-term protest sites. Recent nation-wide protests at ICE facilities, pipelines, government buildings, and other areas, both private and public, can tax organizations with the responsibility of enforcing laws and responding to calls for service at them.

U.S. the land of milk & honey. Many Individuals on the Continent of Africa still believe. Hmm


Few Africans who have never traveled to the USA know anything about Juneteeth or Tulsa Oklahoma as Black Wall Street or Kwanzaa or why Blacks vote so little after fighting so hard.
