but this morning, there were protesters outside our local ICE.
They had been there all night.
since I can't join them, I took them water.
It felt good to actually be participating.
Not everyone can spend hours demonstrating but there are little things that one can do to be a part of it.
It was a small $3.00 thing but that thing felt so good! It was also needed and well received.

(31,997 posts)it is not feasible for me to be there for more than an hour or so.
I have done that-march then go home-then go back but I lose so much by doing that.
I decided that from this point on, I will take water, sports drinks, or what ever else I can take to help them keep from overheating and provide a little comfort.
I have another 3 cases of water in my jeep waiting for the next time. And we know there will be a next time.
