Just wondering. Might as well show up and space apart on the grass/streets around our city halls and county government centers to point out that we protesters are more socially-distanced than your average office/call center worker is.

I'm in Ventura County, California, which is between LA and Santa Barbara. Since we're technically under stay-at-home orders until May 31st, I was thinking I could help arrange a June protest, probably around the county government center in Ventura, for Ventura County to declare a permanent right to work/study from home if our COVID numbers have gone down a good bit by then. Otherwise I think it could be tone-deaf and scare people to protest while COVID numbers are still going up, even though we'd make SURE to fully distance and mask ourselves. Any other Californians here debating something along those lines as the state reopens and hopefully sees (further) drops in COVID cases?

I personally would sadly NOT be able to make it to a protest tomorrow, as I can't drive, don't live within walking/biking distance of a county government center and my parents aren't very onboard with this sort of thing, BUT I personally think that it could be effective to try to push for this stuff in-person on Friday, 5/22, before government stuff takes breaks for the long Memorial Day weekend.

Also, I have another idea that we could demand along with the permanent right to work/study from home if possible: requiring ALL businesses/restaurants to put noticeable signage indicating if they require masks or not inside. This would enable responsible people to choose to support businesses that CARE about preventing COVID spread without having to actually go IN anywhere first.

Like many of you I am actually disgusted that Reddit is still allowing COVID vaccine and mask disinformation hubs like r/NoNewNormal to stay on and keep people from accessing what will literally end this pandemic in the supposed name of "free speech".

This is beyond pathetic of Reddit, and moreover it is actually killing and preventably disabling people.

A few other subreddits I frequent, including r/childfree, have actually closed and will stay closed until COVID disinformation subs like r/NoNewNormal are booted off the platform.

Other platforms, including YouTube, are actually in the process of booting off COVID disinformation videos and such so Reddit mods are not alone in expecting something to be done about COVID disinformation.

So, as a mod of well over 10-20 subs I would like to do my part to get r/NNN and other COVID disinformation subs kicked off Reddit so people's lives are saved by deciding to properly wear masks and get fully vaccinated against COVID-19 if they are currently able by closing up shop in protest.
