Title. I only ever hear about protest in the news, days after they happen. Does anybody know of anything that has nearby protests schedules? Or maybe an app that helps plan protests?
FOSS would be ideal, but anything would help.
You probably just want to get on the email lists of local organisations (activist groups, minor political parties, union councils, etc.).
They will often cross-promote each other so you’ll be made aware of other organisations through them.
i don’t know if it exists but it’s really easy to know about them before they happen: follow the politically active collectives, associations or unions of your city and you will find out. rss, activitypub (fediverse) and telegram are suited for the job because timeline won’t make important posts disappear in favor of ads or posts with more engagement.
That’s a bad idea because it could help police in surveillance and identification of protestors. As someone said, get yourself AND people around you involved in local community groups.
