WEBOT
a chatbot to discover and receive reminders for upcoming PROTESTS near you
A new chatbot is here to do some of the legwork for you. WeBot is a Facebook Messenger bot that lets you easily find protests in your city — no scrambling or tedious searching required. Facebook users can message WeBot and click "Get Started." It will ask you for your location, and you can either choose "Share Your Location" or type in your city manually. WeBot then culls anti-Trump Facebook events in your area and matches you with nearby protests, letting you view and join the events, and share them on your own timeline.
