I will be at my local protest! This is only my 3rd protest, but Trump has to be convinced that what he is doing to America is not acceptable. It is wrong and Americans are more than upset with what he is doing!

Just came from a huge response in Westerly, Rhode Island. Must’ve been 1000 people or more in the tiny little town with lots of positive response from the cars going by - very uplifting and more and more young people showing up.

What you’re seeing is a growing movement and it’s the only thing that will move the needle.

The needle is moving. Yesterday was another push, a big one.

In my tiny town of Honesdale, Penn...... the county seat for Wayne County, PA, Representative Rob Bresnahan (R) who has voted lock stock and barrel with his cohorts to support a fascist. WE showed up, at least 400+ of us, mostly white haired folks, but organized by energetic young women who rallied us and kept us organized. Shout out to our local law enforcement who supported us and got in the face of an agitator and convinced him to leave. I am proud to be a Patriot.

I attended our local Galax, Virginia "No Kings Protest" march. We are a small rural mountain community in the Southwestern part of the state. It was an uplifting, positive, and important show of support for our democracy and Constitution. Most of the constituents in this region are Republican affiliated, with a small yet strong Democrat community. The official count for participants was 200!

We went to a No Kings protest here in Los Lunas, New Mexico (a small town just south of Albuquerque). Several hundred people. About 3/4 of the passing traffic honked and waved in support.

In Waltham, MA we had over 3 thousand people - triple the folks on April 5. Lots of great energy, protesters chanting, cars honking.

Both JL Sullens and I were there at the Vancouver Washington No Kings protest along with, as quick-guesstimated by a research librarian friend, several thousand (4 or 5K ?) of our fellow citizens!!!! There were so many smiles and fun signs!! Here are four favorites:

Hear me sing

You're not king

And there's no hope

You'll ever be Pope

-----

All kids are our kids!!

----

No hate, no fear,

Immigrants are welcome here

---

No Faux King way!!!

I live in a small red rural town in Oregon. Our no kings protest begins at 3:00 PT where 300-400 will show up. We’ve had one other protest where maga showed up causing trouble which we ignore.
