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.
[FOR INTERNATIONAL MOOTS]
Currently there is a demonstration by students and people in Indonesia, condemning our gov and the chaos that is currently happening in our country. If you see one news about it, PLEASE help retweeting it -
Reminder buat yang nggak ikut aksi tapi kena dampak macet hari ini di Bundaran HI, mohon sabar ya. 5 tuntutan yang dibawa: stop pemborosan APBN, turunkan harga sembako & BBM, hentikan MBG & Koperasi Desa Merah Putih, hentikan militerisme di ranah sipil, dan minta pemerintah akui kesalahan.
Mereka udah berjuang nyampein aspirasi buat kita semua, jadi mari saling menghargai.
kita dicegat. didorong. mereka ga memperbolehkan kita masuk ke Bundaran samsek karena “mengganggu aktivitas masyarakat”. Emang kita mahasiswa apaan? Pisang ambon???
