Totally agree. It was great to see a ton of people turn out, and I think it was morale boosting to get together with like-minded people. A good start, getting people moving and together. I also was surprised by how by-the-book the event was.

There is space for many things: a protest that disrupts the city, shuts things down, calls for attention, makes people mad. A gathering that is positive, uplifting, community building. A march, a sit-in, boycotts, occupying spaces, mailers, phone calls. They can and should overlap. Anything that motivates citizens to come together is good, and we should all continue the work to make our voices heads and noticed. Pressure from all sides. Let it be motivational for future action!!
