Yesterday we spent a few hours downtown in our little mountain community. There was a great turnout again for a No Kings demonstration., around 410 people by official count. Across the street from us was a marathon Jazzercise class going on for two straight hours. Very impressive and entertaining too. As people walked by they would join in dancing for part of a song.
Here's DH, along with a big crowd along the street in front of our fire station. The whole age range was represented from young to old, lots of dogs (some with costumes or signs included), people on crutches and mobility scooters.
A selfie on the bridge that heads into town, my sign says NO KINGS SINCE 1776. It was a lovely spot in the shade over the river. We were happy to have so many positive responses from drivers, people honking and waving, thumbs up, etc. We took note of the work vans with business names that honked.
This was the image on the other side of the sign I'm holding, an illustration from one of my favorite political comic artists, Tom Tomorrow.
Over the whole country, 8,000,000 - 9,000,000 of us were out there protesting at over 3,300 separate events. There were at least ten within a half hour's drive for us to choose from! There were also international events, at least one on every continent, even Antartica!
