Friday the 13th Protest
Keep your friends close and your political enemies closer.
CAJD upcoming protest
What: Joe must Go Protest!
Where: Duke Energy Center (Downtown Cincinnati)
When: 6-10 pm
Why: Good question. Why won’t Joe Deters, the chief legal representative of Hamilton County, who Jim Schifrin (of the racist low rate tip sheet the Whistleblower) has long claimed that he and Deters are friends, and who recently bragged that he and Deters shared an assassination joke about President Obama--Why won’t Deters repudiate Schifrin. We’ll ask him that. This time the camera will be rolling.
Joe might not show, but other GOP folks will show, and we will ask them, on camera, if they’ll repudiate Schifrin.
Why Protest: Good questions. See answer below.
Protest events increase the visibility of the Joe-Must-Go cause.Policy debates can be abstract, and even seem irrelevant to the people who are not most directly affected by them. Protest events put warm bodies and heavy feet out there representing an issue, taking up real space and real time, attaching the cause to real faces and real voices who care enough about the cause to go out there, if only for a short time, and be ambassadors for it.So the media notices when a protest event happens. Bystanders notice when a protest event happens. Politicians notice when a protest event happens. And if the protest is staged well, it will invariably make somebody look at the cause with new eyes. Protest events are not persuasive in and of themselves, but they invite persuasion. They invite change
