Again, happy to keep tabs on the more mundane aspects of it when it happens
along with whoever else might be interested. I am already compiling info
privately so could transfer the info once we decide we want to do it

I would gladly "own"/take responsibility for it.. But we can wait until more
protests movements kick off, I think it is only a matter of time (I can
carry on privately collecting, which I'm already doing anyway..)
