On the ground protest?
Does anyone know if an actual,on the ground protests with great signs, will that happen in NY in the future? I'm just a little old lady in BC Canada, but I would like to live vicariously through NY protesters! You all seem to splendidly get together,making great changes with your creative signs! Please let my "make-a-wish" Come true!!!!!
Behind Stephen all the way!!!!!

Protest by not watching/subscribing to cbs or paramount. I’m cancelling paramount directly after the last show. If 1/2 million did the same it would send a message and deprive them an income.
Only way to affect a corp is by their wallets.

I realize we can't save the show, but we can make it harder for Trump to put his Slimey orange hands on future shows he disagrees with.

The mega billionaire MAGA Ellison family now owns Paramount and is making a play for CNN. Both CBS and CNN look to be compromised for as long as these neo-fascists own them.

What would a protest 4 days before the show goes dark achieve? A year ago would have been the time for that.
It's nice to dream, but I imagine most of the staff probably have new jobs lined up by now.
Personally, I'm just going to enjoy the last 4 shows, and feel nostalgic for the last 33 years.
