A beautiful idea, thank you. But why stop with major cities when so many people in rural communities and Republican districts are suffering? State Governors could kickstart a nationwide coordinated plan with highly visible Democratic branded food drives and dinners and make it a national event.

The Democratic Party would do well to look to the social programs of the Black Panther Party as inspiration if SNAP disappears on Saturday. Just running party-sponsored food drives and regular party-sponsored spaghetti dinners in some major cities would be both helpful and good PR.

As a veteran of many street protests, the measure of success is when a movement grows. The mark of successful protests around the world is when people coalesce around one idea or theme. Think the Anti-war, or No Nukes, Abortion rights protests in the US. We need more of a theme,

How about firing the worst 100% of the unelected billionaires illegally rampaging through government databases and wantonly dismissing, harassing and sidelining experienced, dedicated public servants, and illegally shuttering independent agencies. Maybe that would begin to cleanse the government.
