Came back from Waltham Commons (MA) in the morning, lots of cheerful noise, even a brass band, looked like twice as many people as the largest previous protest. Then joined the democracy group of my mom's senior housing building for a sign-holding protest on a busy street near them, 20 people, which is up from 12 the last time.
My crew and I will be at No Kings! Portland, Oregon. We will take pics. The plan is peaceful, direct and purposeful! I sort of want to write down your substack on the back of my sign. Your words of hope are purposeful and important.
Arielle, thank you for alerting me to the Anne Arundel event. I live in Annapolis and support Mr. Pittman but somehow missed seeing the event. I just signed up. He's written amazing monthly updates during his tenure as County Executive, and he knows how to get things done.
I also want to share a piece I wrote today for those who may be burned out by the chaos. I hope it helps if anyone who needs a different perspective. I took my inspiration from the planet's beautiful birds.
