First: THANK YOU for taking on the tagging! That's a lot!
Second: re: the ACLU livestream, which I also attended local-to-me, what kind of "taking it to the streets" ideas were you looking for versus what we got? (NGL, I was left with the impression that we got a lot of practical advice that we could put into action, both in terms of the technicalities of how to protest legally and in terms of what to do about this issue specifically, and what I'm hearing you say sounds like the opposite. Which suggests to me that you're a more experienced political activist than are a lot of us, myself included!)
(FWIW, I think the "rebranding" is actually kind of smart on the part of the ACLU because a) the whole concept of branding is demonstrably important to the current administration {snerk} and b) "freedom" is a word/concept that's harder to argue with than "sanctuary" in the context of American political discourse, at least IMO.) (And would you rather that I comment on your post on your journal over there or here? I have a thought or two about the "grassroots/national" piece.)
