The Sleeping Giant Is Awakening

[KitFox]

50. I have been witnessing this steadily since Drumpf's inauguration in January. During his first term, I attended a few

large protests: Women’s March, March For Our Lives, Save OBamacare. There were still protests here and there, but it seemed only us same loyal dozen or so would keep showing up. It is the total opposite now. There is something going on every week and the turnouts are always large and sometimes enormous. Besides rallies, there are overpass banner drops in many locations on weekdays and weekends. Different local “Indivisible” groups organize everything and publicize it in multiple formats. Besides big rallies, they organize folks to speak on pertinent policy at city council and town hall meetings. It is energizing to be a part of resisting with so many like minded folks. My pals and I bring our instruments and play music at the protests and people sing along or stop and listen. The variety and creativity on people’s signs is in itself uplifting and encouraging. I could ramble on, but I’ll close with this: At a huge rally, I saw a tiny, frail very elderly lady slowly inching her way along with her walker. On the front of her walker, her sign said: “Sometimes you find courage in unusual places”. So dear DU family, keep on insisting, resisting, and persisting however and whenever you can. Be well! 😊🧡
