Organising what? What should they organise?
Workers strikes, general strikes, work stoppages and walk outs ... organize people to conduct mass disruptive activities in a peaceful obstructive way to force those in power to either move against them or take steps back to accommodate people.
Strikes need strike funds. Dem billionaire donors are not going to fund picket lines and unions (half of which majority voted for trump) are not going to sacrifice their livelihoods for what trump has done so far.
Mass protest is possible, but it won't come from organized labor unless something changes drastically.
Congresscritters could do a little more to gum up congress. Stop confirming his nominees except for the 3 sane options.
As others have said they will have a chance to negotiate when the shutdown comes due. We will see.
They could reach out to Sean O'Brien.
"But my [insert excuse not to go out and protest]..."
…wife and child need to eat and have shelter? Yeah, clearly we're the problem.
Plenty of Nazis said that, plenty of Nazis had their reasons. There's a word for them - Nazi. Would you get in line with fascists if it meant a sense of security? Would you hide targetted members of the public like Anne Frank? Or are you gonna rat out your neighbors (lets face it you don't even know em, not your problem) to avoid getting into trouble? These are questions the "wife and child need to eat" crowd need to start considering, because there's no "centrist position" when it comes to that.
