One of the Atlanta ones had tear gas deployed from what I saw, other than that the others in my area went super smoothly

AVL had a few next to each other. No cops, people passing by honked and gave thumbs up, including EMS and fire department. People dressed as captain America and aliens. Booths from the sierra club and socialist movements. Some speakers. Lots of dogs. Some people selling stuff like a farmers market but it’s avl so that’s expected lol. Briefly slowed traffic when people walked in the bike lane

yeah the first two blew. evidently they were for profit events selling like $60 t-shirts and they did not like leftist groups being there 😭

oh it did! it's nice to see people hitting the streets to try and do something about this—especially down south.

awesome!! fr, before my shift i was able to watch a tiny bit of the LA protest and it was so cathartic to see the sheer number of people there in solidarity. glad to hear the south was lively too!!
