Earlier someone posted that the protests aren’t going to be noticed by or cause any inconvenience to the oligarchs.
It isn’t about them noticing the protests, and it isn’t about the media talking about it.
At this point it’s a movement that has to grow until everyone knows even if they keep trying to bury their heads in the sand. It needs to show the billionaire owned media that they are powerless to suppress the truth.
The movement needs to keep growing until it can’t be denied. It needs to keep growing until they know they can not win.
We have a choice. Either we sit back and go into the gas chambers one at a time, or we show them that they are too outnumbered to succeed.

True, but more than growth action is necessary here. Protests are ultimately advertisements for your movement and a show of force; without an implied threat behind them (such as “abdicate or we’ll literally lynch you”) they’re very ignorable no matter how many people you get on board. What I’m trying to say is: More than grow the movement needs to evolve from marches and into full-blown civic resistance.
Absolutely. It’s easy for another Occupy Wall Street outcome to happen where this movement just fizzles out if there’s no structure to solidify into. Considering that most Democrats won’t acknowledge or support the movement, someone must rally these people into making an organization out of this momentum to challenge establishment Dems and Republicans. Long lasting and meaningful plans for governmental change have to come from this otherwise we’ll just stall out and get nothing done. Again.
