Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.
Rules
- Do not gatekeep resistance.
- Do not organize specific plans here.
- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

A general strike would be far more effective and safer than people showing up to mass facial recognition scanning event.
I don't see how participating in a general strike would serve to identify you any less than marching.
And every little bit helps. Of course, if you're a person who's comfortable with a higher level of risk which might allow you do take "more subversive" actions, you might be wise to save your efforts for those, and forgo going to a march.
But that's not everyone, and we're not gatekeeping resistance.
Agreed, getting everyone in one spot could help with organizing one. Another comment in this thread has some general opsec suggestions. One is wearing an n95 or similar medical mask, and painting your face in some colored pattern where masks are banned.
