This was my little crew yesterday. There isn't many of us, but allow me sime context. This is deep blood red MAGA country. Rush Limbaugh's hometown of Cape Girardeau, MO. Trump carried 80% of the vote here. There were multiple tornadoes that touched down in the area this week, and we have experienced over 10" of rain in the past 24 hours. We are few, but we are proud to be part of the movement to take back our democracy!

We had bigger plans but the chips were down. We are looking forward to 4/19!

TO THE STREETS

Good for you guys! It starts with just a few people, and when people see a few people, they become emboldened to join in. Starting the ball rolling is the hardest part, IMO.

In Anchorage, AK, before yesterday, at our last protest we had maybe 500 people, the one before that, maybe 200, before that, maybe 100 etc...

Yesterday, we had THOUSANDS. 16 different communities put protests on, up from just 5 or 6, a few weeks ago. Something like 70% voted trump last year.
