These two signs at yesterday's No Kings protest in Oro Valley say exactly how I feel, which is why I've been joining the peaceful protests against Trump's assault on our country. Others campaign door to door or donate money to candidates, which is all great, but my niche is adding to the ranks of protesters to create a visual of how overwhelmingly we oppose what's going on.
I have a friend who says protests don't make a difference, but I believe they do, especially with the huge No Kings turnouts that show how widespread and deep the opposition is. I hope they might give those sitting on the sidelines the push to vote out those who are assaulting our country. In addition, if everyone acts as though what we're going through is normal by not even discussing it, then these abnormal times will become normal and we'll have lost our democracy.

Thanks for your commitment! We have voted!!!
Love the signs. We cannot stay silent.
Great signs! Let’s hope everyone turns out to vote.
Sherrie, Those are great signs! We didn't have a No Kings this time. Indivisible planned voting parties at a few parks but not up here. Let's hope everyone gets out and votes. We're going tomorrow.
I’m so glad you participated and documented this important and impressive event. It’s taken me 70 years to get out and protest Trump and his cronies. The signs were fabulous!!
Thanks for sharing those signs - so good! - and for making the effort to get out there with the throng. We only have to look at what's been going on in European countries to see how the people protesting en masse often WILL get results. If nothing else, people who are timid or on the fence may find courage in numbers and join the fight.
