Beautiful!

I will turn 70 next year & I am disabled.

On 4/5, my (honorary) grandson & I drove to a nearby & slightly larger city to join in the HANDS OFF demonstration. His first experience. He was deeply affected. Surprised at how many "older" people were there.

Signs & posters supporting everything from saving Social Security, Medicaid, Veteran's rights, to BRING KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA HOME.

My grandson's first protest.

Not my first.

But it had been many decades.

We will join the peaceful civil action in our own city on 6/14.

We didn't have a sign made for the April event.

Last week, when Mark came over (he has had his own key to our house for a couple of years), he brought a giant poster board & a new thick black marker!

We, the people, fight peacefully, LOUDLY, and continuously.

We shall prevail.

There is no other option.

The Fourth Reich must be stopped.

We are the majority.

Keep your courage, friends.

Blessings.

Dear Pam, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your grandson’s reaction, and your commitment to exposing him and inspiring him to the importance of public involvement and community we all especially need now. I think there is alot of criticism of this z generation but I think they are starving for inspiration and encouragement. I’m hopeful and appreciative of people like you. Thank you again.
