Some people who are not in the know like to ask us "What are you protesting?"
That's hard to answer, first because there are so many reasons to protest the Trump Administration, and Trump in particular, and secondly, because these rallies don't feel like protests. They are joyous gatherings of like minded people who want to make our voices heard, or more accurately, at least in our relatively small gathering of only a few thousand, make our opinions visible.
Read for yourself. This is just a sample.
We spent a joyful two hours talking to our friend Jan, waving our signs, reading other's signs, sharing laughs and thoughts with others, and I spent about 45 minutes walking the line, taking photos and talking and laughing with people who were strangers but could easily have been my friends.
We don't hate, not America or anyone else. But we demand better. We can be better, We are better. Well, most of us.
Your in a tough situation. The guy doesn't care if he has the cards. He takes the cards he wants. Good on you for getting out and joining other people.
ReplyDeleteLinda, our local NO KINGS protest was the same as you described yours... peaceful and cheerful, people getting together to let their concerns be voiced. My favorite sign was "Are we great yet? Or just embarrassed?"
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh… Those signs are so very creative! I LOVE reading them.

ReplyDeleteI can say I am desperate about this war! Our son’s family is in Dubaï and I would like them to come home with us but it is not safe to fly
When there are planes. I watch the news and it is very stressful. You are right to demonstrate! Here Paris is blocked by buses and lorries because of the price of gasoline. In Europe some places are making gasoline restrictions already.
I hope this will end quickly but I don’t think so.
I so admire all of you for standing up like this. Many Canadians support you!
