I went to my Senators local offices yesterday, along with a few hundred others. We got one of them to send out a staffer to talk.
What have others here done? What have you got planned for the next few days?

Absolutely. I also felt it was important to demonstrate to people that it is still safe to resist. A lot of people are already too scared to do anything even though the Trump administration hasn’t done a single thing to crack down on dissent yet.
I saw so many people afraid this was a trick, or the police were going to swoop in and arrest everyone. But guess what, we all went out there, it was a great time and nothing bad happened. Hopefully more people will show up for the next one. One protest won’t do much it’s true—but a sustained campaign can shift the conversation.
The last time a protest accomplished anything was when people burned buildings and a police precinct to demand the arrest of George Floyd’s murderer.
