Protest the Protesters
Bigwig has a great idea for a counter-protest against yesterday's "virtual march" foolishness.
If you want to phone in a protest, you should target organizations that can't hand you off to a drone. You want an office without a lot of money, or the multiple phone lines and staffers that come with access to lots of money. You want an office run on a wing and a prayer, one where tying up a staff member on the phone keeps them from doing work more important to the mission of the organization.
You want to call a protest movement.
He's even listed a few relevant phone numbers to get you started.
Excellent.
UPDATE: Looks like the idea is catching on.
Let all voices be heard. Payback is a bitch, isn't it?

Better yet, call these groups and ask them to send you materials on their group and its mission. Pretend to be a reporter, or just someone who believes in their cause.
The real question then becomes: How much of their money and supplies will they waste before they catch on? Hopefully, if enough people did this, these groups wouldn't have the time *or* money to organize protests on the street or the web.

Good idea Adam, hadn't thought of that.
