The four corners of my downtown were mobbed. The crowd was electrified and the traffic beeped horns, gave us thumbs up, and shouted in support from their cars. City bus drivers and postal workers honked in support as they passed by. All in the cold and rain. I was there my daughter. Many, many age groups! Children and elderly alike. Some people came in wheelchairs. This is what democracy looks like!

Our demonstration in Thousand Oaks, CA, was very similar! Biggest difference is that we are going into a heat wave. Yesterday was the 1st day. Around 80°. I had my sunhat with the wide brim & fabric down the back. Lots of sunscreen. And used my iridescent purple cane to wave high in the air! We hadn't made signs. My arm is sore today! I guess 40 minutes of waving my cane high in the air was a workout! Because of how we arrange protests in our area, at major intersections & with a line of protestors along the adjacent streets, it is much easier to come & go.

Blessings.

LOL It was 29 degrees here in N Denver, when I hopped into my Jeep, which I took the doors and top off LAST week when it was 60!

So needless to say, It was COLD... But I travelled over 100 miles yesterday to go to BOTH the Longmont AND Greeley Colorado protests..

I was NOT disappointed... See my substack for video!!

It is ironic that so many Americans seemed to be anti Union and don't understand how powerful it is to work collectively for our rights in the workplace but this weekend the very union of people across parties to fight for the democracy is exactly how Unions in the workplace feel. Lawful protests are a galvanising way to express the popular feelings.

Enjoy and embrace the support of each other.
