Not enough Americans are protesting it, otherwise Trump couldn’t keep arresting those that are. The fact that Americans protesting and getting arrested for protesting doesn’t spark massive outrage and even bigger protests is baffling.
You actively become involved and try to find out who organised the last protest. Help organise the next one. You’ve noticed there’s an issue advertising the protest? Great. Advertise it yourself. Set up social media accounts for that purpose and advertise. Put up posters, hand out flyers… someone has to do it. If you won’t, nobody will.
As for the police breaking up the protests…you should try suing. Your freedom of assembly is protected under the first amendment. You have a constitutional right to assemble and voice your opinion. If your protest is broken up like that, sue the state. I have little faith in the American justice system, but I have enough faith to tell you that there’s at least a solid chance that you win your suit. Take it to SCOTUS if necessary. This is a fundamental enough question to force them to actually talk about it. Let them state outright that opposition is illegal if that’s what they wish to do, but force them to actually do it.
The goal is to make shit uncomfortable for them by whatever means necessary. This is your way of doing that. Be uncomfortable.

Americans are protesting, and getting arrested for it.
