Freedom Riders 2

What was the goal of the Freedom Riders?

During the spring of 1961, student activists from the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) launched the Freedom Rides to challenge segregation on interstate buses and bus terminals.

What should be the goal of the Freedom Riders 2?

During the summer of 2023, people from all over the Northeast and California coasts launch new Freedom Rides to expose the ridiculous hate culture in the South for any sort of queerness or otherness. 

This includes Florida and the Don't Say Gay bills, and the Anti-Trans bills and the Anti-Drag Queen silliness.  The reason people can have this hate is because they've never met real people behind the straw villains designed by the GOP.

The group should include all kinds of OTHERS, and that can be open to interpretation.

The group should schedule TALKS at churches, public halls, schools, anywhere that will have them.

The group should sponsor FUN DAYS everywhere they go, little carnivals run by OTHERS.

Some trouble-making rapscallions may cause trouble, but that would only add press and build excitement for the next stop.

The bus could also be the HOME of the folks, and it could be Electric or have some solar panels or something helpful.

We could stream free WIFI wherever we are.
