I went to the No Kings protest in Oro Valley (just north of Tucson) this morning and was elated at the huge crowd turnout. We lined Oracle, a major road through town, and it seemed as if nearly every passing car honked in support!
It was joyful despite the seriousness of what we're protesting. And it felt so good to be surrounded by "my people," even though I didn't know them personally.
I bought a sign from this guy's trunk, and I filled out postcards to all three branches of government at the Oro Valley Democrats booth.
Some snapshots ...
Adelita Grijalva is Tucson's representative who Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in. Lots of support for her here.
I started with my homemade sign, which is kindergarten level. Luckily I could buy a better one there:
I read that 7 million showed up to protest all over the United States, plus many more in other countries. Here's my sister at her protest in Port Townsend, WA. And my brother in law sent the next one from Chelsea, MI.
So proud of the big turnout in my hometown, Pittsburgh!
Have a colorful day
