So after the massive protests.....What do we do on June 15th? [View all]

And beyond? We cannot bask in our laurels, self-congratulating for having spoken up one day, then lie dormant. What is the strategy for after these protests? Has anybody thought that far ahead? Do we have a plan? I'm reminded of the scene in "High Plains Drifter" when Malachi asks "What about after we do it?" and the gunslinger (Clint Eastwood) says,, "Then you live with it." That can't just be the answer now. We have to do whatever is needed to continue taking the fight to the tRumpists. What is it?
