Meetup has always served as an organizing platform for a wide range of political views, welcoming everyone from the Howard Deaniacs to the Tea Party. Meetup will always welcome people with different beliefs.

But after the recent executive order aimed to block people on the
basis of nationality and religion, a line was crossed. At a time when core democratic ideals feel under attack, we feel a duty to spark more civic participation.

Last week, we created 1,000+ #Resist Meetup Groups to act as local hubs for actions on behalf of democracy, equality, human rights, social justice, and sustainability. Already 50,000+ people have joined.

These #Resist Meetups are open to anyone who want to create a bright future that's rich with opportunity and freedom for all.

Meetup exists to connect people so they create opportunity and make the world they want. We hope members take these Meetups forward to be powerful together

Seems like a good chance to sign up and have intelligence about the enemy's activities delivered right to your Inbox.
Learn protest locations, bust out MAGA gear, and troll the hell out of the libtards.

I just got one too.  I belonged to Meetup for IT related stuff.

I'm not going to cancel, it will be good to know when/where the meetings are. That way I can plaster the venue with leftover Trump stickers :D .

Fucking liars.  The EO was NOT based on religion or nationality, it was based on anyone seeking a travel visa FROM those 7 countries.  AND it was TEMPORARY so we could get our immigration shit in order for reviewing people traveling from those nations.

You dummies.. You can become the leader of the local group and schedule the protests to happen in the wrong places at the wrong times!

Can we setup anti-trump protests as well?  I've a few places in mind that if a few hundred antifa troops showed up, things could get weird real quick.

I want to go and counter protest.  

What kind of material for my sign handle?  Oak, steel, aluminum.  I want something that can deliver a good stun to the forehead while the sign is still attached, and also swing effectively once the sign gets ripped off.

"Trump wins again!  
Suck it bitches."

Should be getting people on our side into these groups to see what they're planning.

This is a good thing.

When the enemy typically looks and sounds like any other neighbor getting them to out themselves in a visible way makes identifying them a snap when the time comes.

It's intel.

I belong to an area Meetup that's focused on trail bicycling, and has a pretty broad cross section of humanity as fellow members. Will be interesting to see what sort of mention this stuff gets when the group is out on our weekly rides.

I signed up for a Texas city's Pro-Immigrant protest.  I pointed out how helpful it was for illegals to assemble in one place and that I'd be informing CIS of the time & location.  Win, win for everyone concerned!

I got the email earlier today, as my homebrewing group uses the meetup platform.

You're on the wrong Atlanta area meetups then.  This weekend was AR15 lower build meetup for our group!  ;-)

I got the same email and ending up sending a message to the organizer.
Here's his reply.

"So disappointed with the Meetup endorsement of this polarizing site.  My response ....
Aren't you sanctimonious in this decree. Do you honestly feel that creating this Meetup group will be a constructive venue for our nation?
Your understanding of history and current events is sorely bereft of factual information and blindly influenced by the biased sources that stream our airwaves and printed media.
Stooping to align yourself with societal misfits is cowardly. Get a grip on reality and shed yourself of your lemming-like, perverted actions in support of the malcontents and purported disenfranchised.
Richard Wachter, Meetup Organizer


...I blasted him a nice response and haven't heard back again.
I would suggest that everyone email their displeasure instead of canceling the subscription.
Why let them take it away from you??

This, I won’t cancel either… Not exactly for the same reasons, but I would want to avoid those areas in fear of potential riots.
