Glad I’m not the only one having difficulty with this!

Look again, it has been updated with the starting time , 2 pm ET

Tracey's avatar

Thanks! I was wondering about the time!

I don't think you need to sign up for this special program. I think it will be sent via email like all of The Contarian content. That registration message is for people who haven't yet subscribed to The Contrarian. For instance, if someone forwarded it to you, you won't receive the link on Monday gor the live event because you aren't subscribed to The Contrarian.

So Tracey, what you've said here makes sense. And I have to ask ... are you a millennial or younger :) ?

Nationwide “Not my President’s Day” protests will take place at state capitols and in cities on Monday, February 17. Join one if you can after or before tuning in to the Contrarian Day event. https://www.newsweek.com/50501-movement-organizaers-not-my-presidenti-day-protests-2029529

We need the time, and if we subscribe are we already "signed up"?

You should be encouraging folks to participate in the 50501 "Not My President's Day" protest taking place all over the country on the 17th!

Some of us would love too but cannot for a variety of reasons. So this is an alternative.

Please give us your suggestions on how best to protest / resist from an ordinary voter's position.

I am a subscriber and cannot sign up. The process is definitely not user friendly. 😕

I’m anxious to hear more about today’s news of resignations (with damning letters) as a result of the DOJ insisting on dismissing the Eric Adams case. Thank you for doing this from someone too far away from any of the Not My President’s Day protests.

Like Larry, I am also having difficulty signing up for Contrarian's Day! Please clarify how to do this.

Renee Shapiro's avatar

Will there be a link provided? When? and what time is the live stream?

Substack is so confusing. I signed up and paid to read Jennifer Rubin, I get emails all day from other writers, and mostly only videos of Jennifer (I don’t watch videos on my phone). I wish she joined a different forum… I may just unsubscribe…

Shannon Starks's avatar

The Contrarian is a work in progress that just got started and involves many writers. For some of us, this is a good thing. Like you, I would like to read more of Jen's writing, and maybe as things settle she'll have more time to write. But I also love hearing/reading other writers/thinkers without having to have a paid subscription for each one. You can change your settings to not get the emails for The Contrarian--that's what I did.

The videos have transcripts.

Renee Shapiro's avatar

We are missing information. There is no way to sign up and there's no time at which the event is taking place. I see from the comments that many are having this problem.
