what is this?

protest.nyc is an attempt at a visual protest calendar that is 1) maintained by community groups rather than a few individuals; 2) open-source & free from google, wordpress, amazon, & meta; & 3) can be followed many ways, including via RSS (with fediverse integration to come)––though the easiest is to save the site as an icon on your phone homescreen.

site made with gancio with help from the counterforce.
local sibling cals include red calendar & nyc noise.
as of january '26, we're still figuring out how we'll be using the space; more soon!
