I subscribe to Meetup to see what groups are meeting in my area. I received a company email that stated:
Meetup has always served as an organizing platform for a wide range of political views, welcoming everyone from the Howard Deaniacs to the Tea Party. Meetup will always welcome people with different beliefs.
But after the recent executive order aimed to block people on the basis of nationality and religion, a line was crossed. At a time when core democratic ideals feel under attack, we feel a duty to spark more civic participation.
Last week, we created 1,000+ #Resist Meetup Groups to act as local hubs for actions on behalf of democracy, equality, human rights, social justice, and sustainability. Already 50,000+ people have joined.
These #Resist Meetups are open to anyone who want to create a bright future that's rich with opportunity and freedom for all.
Meetup exists to connect people so they create opportunity and make the world they want. We hope members take these Meetups forward to be powerful together.
Yeah, I know—I’ve used meetup a lot over the years.
But this pushed me beyond my limit. Your book club leader could start to oblige you with an email list and maybe even find they don’t need to keep paying meetup.

We should not try to counter events like this unless we have a good strategy and spokespeople.
I suggest humor is the best. It is important to control the sound system with people technically competent and with common sense. It helps if counter - protestors truly understand Alinsky and know how to use it against the opponents.

Does anyone have a jackass they can bring to the middle of the event?
