Please, please, please let this number be true!!! It would be a wonderful smack in the face to the MAGAts. I doubt they’d get the picture though.

Absolutely!

My Wife and I were in our Lee County protest in Fort Myers, FL.

We are deeply involved in three Lee County Democratic organizations:

Lee County Democratic Party, Lee County LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus and Cape Coral Democratic Club. We hold several positions between the three organizations.

In Fort Myers, we had a fantastic turnout, far surpassing both the April 5 and April 19 protests in which we were involved.

I participated in the Jackson, MS protest. Even in the Deep South the crowd was extremely diverse. White, black, brown, some the children of immigrants or immigrants themselves, all genders and sexual orientation, and all ages. I was encouraged by the number of white baby boomers 💙

Was dealing with bad back pain so couldn’t go, but loved seeing Missoula’s turn out!

Yes, I showed up in Springfield, Illinois where I attended the Juneteenth event, the No Kings Rally at the State Capitol, and the conversation with Rev. Liz Theoharis and Noam Sandweiss-Back about how to get organized to build power among poor and working class people. I networked with people from my town of Decatur, and we plan to build there. A last-minute effort to mount a No Kings Rally in Decatur drew lots of people. Many photos were included with the story that was on the front page of the Decatur Herald and Review.

We were here in Missoula, MT! I appreciated the banners up on Beartracks Bridge calling for a Divestment from Genocide and the Protection of Palestinians.

I had to work. I was on call. But, I stood in ritual since the election repeatedly to bring it to bear. Proactive, positive, energetic resonance utilized for the good of ALL RIGHTEOUS HEARTS harnesses Divine Providence! (If I had the picture function on this comment, I could show you my tattered old page of goals. The FIRST. 1) Massive protests all across the country. 2) MAGA (those deluded ones who are NOT narcissists, or still redeemable) throwing in their weight with US. Ps. I’d LOVE to see MAGA hat bonfires live streamed all across this country NEXT!
