A collection of groups led by Black Lives Matter and Shutdown DC plan an eight-hour event at Black Lives Matter Plaza, one block from the White House.
It will include a giant screen showing election results, DJs and performances by bands playing Washington’s signature go-go music.
At the moment, Bloch said her training priorities are “street smarts and street safety” as well as maintaining public unity.
She counsels groups not to waste time and energy “arguing about different tactics.”Bloch's organization, Beautiful Trouble, has set up a “resistance hotline” for groups seeking support.
She believes local activists stand ready to “completely interrupt ordinary life, if that's what we need to do.”For now, the greatest challenge for some is simply remaining calm amid all the apocalyptic predictions.
