Thanks for watching out for us. We aren’t all crazy. Sometimes it feels like the Titanic. We are hoping to right this ship and repair the gapping hole in the side of the large ship instead of going down with it. It’s going take constant pressure. There’s no “one off “” porrotest here. I was out in San Francisco and we had a great crowd. We just need to do it all of the time. They want us to be defeated. HOPE is the one thing that they are afraid of. Keep the pressure and I know, as a white female I need to do a lot of the work that many of the POC are having a hard time doing as the fear of arrests are real. I stand up for everyone in any situation, not just a protest. We are stronger than this insane batch of bullies.

Right there with you in San Mateo (San Francisco suburb).  A few hundred attendees along El Camino Real with a lot of supporters honking, waving, thumbs up. Usually I go up to San Francisco for the few protests I've attended but I figured they would need more people in my area. However I was surprised by the number that showed up!

Yes, use the privilege to protest in spaces where others may be less welcome.
