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”.

Oh my goodness, that is BRILLIANT!

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!

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

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!
