I do believe this is what democracy looks like. It brings people together in community to realize that they have the power in their numbers. It was very invigorating and motivating. “ The people have the power. The power to dream, to rule,

to wrestle the world from fools,

it's decreed the people rule,

it's decreed the people rule!” Patti Smith

Thank you for being there and doing your part!

Thank you for being there and doing your part!!

And thanks to Patti Smith too!

I have been involved in the more librarian version of democracy too, things like platform and legislation. It’s democracy too but a different version and experience.

Proud of you, Bunky, and the sign you carried was perfect. Let this be the very beginning of a better time for everyone.

Yes! That sign had 3 different holders. Someone put care into making it. I loved holding it.

omg!!! that sign "it has been 0 days without Fascist Bullshit" is perfect. Thanks for doin' this and it does make a difference. People absolutely notice when you make the effort. They see others with the motivation to set aside time and attention and begin to wonder what the basis of that motivation is and whether their own beliefs are deep or true enough to warrant similar actions.

Thank you- and well stated. I hadn't thought of it so clearly, the noticing of motivation of time and effort.

Yeah, that was a perfect sign! Hope you're having a good almost summer!
