I’ve been leaving the flyers on doors of neighbors with signs or flags that show they would be supportive of the protest. Take some with me when I’m out and about and leave one if I see someone that might be interested. Cute, older neighborhoods seem to have the most pro different groups signage.

FYI: A good store to shop for groceries is Nugget. It is locally-owned and has been on the Forbes top 100 list of companies to work for. Food 4 Less in our town is owned by Nugget, for a more economical option, not sure who it is owned by elsewhere.

Hi! Thanks for your hard work. Also are Nugget markets bad? It's the only decent grocery store in my area 😭

Nugget is good! They are locally owned and treat their employees well as far as I know. I tried to list a couple of options of places to shop if you boycott the others.

Oh ok, the way you wrote it made it seem like it's on the boycott list. Glad it's not!

Oops! I will need to modify it for the future 😬

Thanks for the input. I edited the flyer but couldn’t figure out how to change the main image on this post.

Do any of you nimrods realize that target gave zero bucks to trump while costco did put money in his campaign at election.

The DEI announcements, both directions, were already performative, and you are all in a giant circle jerk.

It's like if Tom's were running our government and it's opposition and everyone needs and gets shoes simultaneously.

It’s about capitulating to the Trump administration. We need to all resist the administration, that includes businesses, universities, law firms, etc

Welcome to my neighbors that received a flyer and are joining! Thank you for your signs and flags supporting our community! It’s good to know there are so many caring individuals around. I hope you can join the protest at the capitol this Saturday, it is very uplifting being around like minded people resisting the current administration. The recent protests I have been to at the capitol in the past month have been very peaceful. Thanks again and I hope you can make it! ♥️

THANK YOU for doing this!!! We should all start flyering for every protest. I used to do it a lot for nightclubs and various orgs.

One strategy we used to use was to pay a dollar or whatever to open up a newspaper stand and then stick small flyers in all of them. 🤭 Cheap advertising! Probably a felony now or something 😐

Another strategy was to get those cardboard beer coasters custom made with our QR code and logo and pass out sleeves/boxes of them to the staff/management of restaurants, bars, breweries, etc. They were usually happy to accept them to save on money.

Nugget owns Food 4 Less? Good to know; I love Nugget but can’t afford to do my full grocery shop there.

u/Mockingbird_Boo 3d ago

The Woodland one is owned by Nugget, I believe. They carry a lot of Nugget branded items. That’s where I’ve been doing most of my shopping and regular Nugget for quick store runs since it’s closer.

I love this. I wish so badly that it wasn't during my work shift. Will anything still be going on by 3:30 pm? That's the soonest I could come. Regardless, thank you for this, we need all the protesting right now.

I know they are planning for another protest soon. This subreddit will have information when it becomes available. I went to the last one and also the science and veterans’ protests. It really is encouraging to be out with other people that want to make a difference and resist what is currently happening. If you can make it out to one I highly recommend it! And keep resisting in the meantime, contact your representatives, boycott, talk to your friends and family about what’s going on. Everything helps!
