Our local art supply thrift store is offering nearly daily space and supplies for sign making. Isn’t that a cool idea?
I will be making a sign and hopefully figuring out how I can attend a rally on No Kings Day and sit by the road with my sign (I can’t walk or march much). My sign will say “Hands Off Our Cake”.
This is such a great call to action. I too read Hubbell’s inspiring story. At 77 I’m still marching and taking others with me. We take a ferry, a bus, walk up long hills if we are able, do whatever it takes. On No Kings Day my son is taking off work to join us - a first. Folks who can’t travel are organizing a smaller rally on our island. Those who can’t rally are making signs, texting, phoning etc. Childcare, as you said, is key. Tell a friend. Spread the word. Do something every day. Our kids and our grandkids futures depend on us and don’t get me started about the Earth.
On June 14th I have... Therapy, piano class, and then that evening a big quinceañera. So I'm going to have to do some serious moves to figure out our schedule and the car situation, but I will do it. This is too important not to!
my first time was the Women's March in 2017. I was so scared that I was crying in the car on my way over because I was alone. You know what? In a sea of 100K people, I bumped into a friend :)
WOW! This gave me chills. Thank you so much for sharing. And I honestly feel a little rush thinking that I was sharing some thoughts with someone I admire like Anand!

Oh my goodness, that is BRILLIANT!

I haven't been to a protest - ever! but I plan to go to a No Kings Day event.
