"Kami mau melapor ke polisi, polisi punya dapur SPPG. Kami mau melapor ke TNI, tentara punya dapur SPPG. Kami mau melapor ke DPR RI, anggota DPR banyak yang punya dapur SPPG," kata Iman Zanatul Haeri, seorang guru, di hadapan Mahkamah Konstitusi.
Emang di Bundaran HI lebih efektif. 5km is a very long walk tp imagine orang2 yg mereka lalui lihat semuanya. Berangkat start di 1500-3000 demonstran, dan mereka deploy 4000. Who knows at the end of the day akan banyak warga yg ikut turun dan massa bertambah. ACAB gabisa nangkep semua orang. Stay safe everyone! Jaga kanan kirinya!
Aksi mahasiswa hari ini (12/06) direspons negara dengan mengerahkan ribuan personel gabungan Polri dan TNI.
Cegah militer menangani aksi. Polisi harus lindungi peserta aksi, dan pemerintah wajib dengarkan tuntutan aksi!

You know how brilliant their idea to choose Bundaran HI sebagai tempat "aksi" mereka adalah? It’s because they know Bundaran HI adalah pusat titik keramaian Jakarta.
Choosing Bundaran HI means maximum exposure. Akses ke semua lapisan masyarakat itu potensial banget buat attract publik. From the corporate slaves stepping out of their Sudirman offices, people commuting, to the general public—everyone is literally there. It is the ultimate hub to get eyes on your movement.
Plus di Bundaran HI, segala jenis transportasi umum ada. It’s the literal heart of Jakarta's transit. So obviously, the traffic will be disrupted. But honestly? In modern activism, that disruption is a feature, not a bug. When the traffic gets a bit chaotic, people are forced to look. It creates that instant "Wait, what’s happening over there?" effect.
As someone who used to organize actions and protests too, let’s be real for a second: pemilihan Bundaran HI ini bukan lagi buat "protes" langsung ke pihak yang diprotes.
Why? Karena ya udah pasti gak bakal didengar. Pointing fingers directly at the institutions just ends up making you tired, drained, and honestly, males banget. It’s a dead end.
Makanya mereka pilih Bundaran HI. It’s no longer about yelling at a brick wall; it’s about controling the narrative and winning the public's attention. If the authorities won't listen, you make the entire city talk about it instead. And there’s no better stage for that than Bundaran HI.
