i'm thinking about showing up to speak against a shitty piece of legislature that's making the rounds in my state government, but i've never done something like this before and am a little uncertain. does anyone have experience with this kind of action? can anyone speak to its efficacy? is it worth the covid risk to do something like this or am i just wasting my time by showing up alone rather than spending my energy organizing?
At the state level? Nope. I do county stuff occasionally, on dull but vital topics like snow removal & budgeting, but that's pretty chill. However, I do think you should do it. If nothing else it's good nuts & bolts experience.
