Well in NYC, some in "the movement", which could indeed correctly be named the vague term "the movement" and not just BLM, they are going to continue to protest until they change the whole world or until mom and dad stop paying the rent and they have to get a job. From NYTimes local June 29, ‘There’s Going to Be More Demands’: What’s Next for N.Y. Protests Marches, vigils and rallies have settled in as a part of the city’s daily life, one already disrupted by the pandemic.

“You don’t need to protest, you won,” said Gov. Andrew Cuomo, addressing demonstrators after the state reforms were passed in Albany. “You accomplished your goal.”

So why are people still going out?

“Until I feel the people in my orbit care about this stuff, I can’t take a break,” said Kristen Lee, 26, who has been protesting every other day since demonstrations first began in the city.

Many other participants agreed that there was still more to accomplish. The staying power of the state’s early reforms remains to be seen, they said. Criminal justice advocates and academics have cautioned that many of the changes hailed by the Police Department could be cosmetic, simply shifting problematic officers, units and policing tactics under different names.

The demonstrations have also spurred a whole host of ancillary demands: Rallies for education, gender equality and social services now pop up between those calling for police reform.

“Defunding the police is something that needs to happen. Police brutality is unacceptable and inhumane. But also, there are larger forces,” said Biz Berthy, 24, an organizer for Vocal New York, a grass roots advocacy organization that has been promoting dialogue for the last month on drug policy, housing equality and homelessness.

For many, the protests have become a part of their daily routines.

Who’s organizing it all?

Much of the movement is being led by a decentralized, loosely affiliated group of protest leaders across the city, some of whom had never publicly demonstrated before Mr. Floyd’s death. Some are affiliated with formal groups or organizations, but others have simply emerged as ringleaders for an amorphous groups of friends, acquaintances and strangers.

David Matos, 30, has been working with a group of around a dozen people to organize marches every night since the demonstrations began.

“We’re the family that we always wanted,” said Mr. Matos, who goes by Tito. After some marches, the group hosts a workshop on black history and the movement.

Dozens of new demonstrations are listed each day on the Justice for George NYC Instagram account, a sort of unofficial digital directory of scheduled protests in the city. The account has more than 200,000 followers.

A public channel on Telegram, the encrypted messaging app, keeps followers up-to-date on demonstration locations and police scanner traffic.

Cyclists gather for protest rides across the city’s bridges and between boroughs. Group meditations on racial justice pop up at city parks. Children’s marches use books, posters and crafts to promote racial equality.

In Brooklyn’s McCarren Park, a nightly vigil has become a community gathering space; on Wednesday night, tables of volunteers handed out hand sanitizer and first aid equipment, and artists displayed their paintings of Mr. Floyd.

followed by the killer line--suggesting that since the clubs and bars are still closed, why not go to to a protest?

Many protesters said they simply checked social media after work or in the evening to see if there were demonstrations happening near them [....]

My cynicism is enhanced by having lived with very similar people in the early 70's at UW-Madison. Out of state students paying high tuition to be able to demonstrate and get tear gassed. For:anything really, just cause it was awesome to be part of "the movement". You know, cause the CIA was in Chile, gotta fix that. And Earth Day too. Whatever. Good weed. I fell for it for only about 6 months and then decided grownups were more fun.
