I have to walk!
We have a president who revels in cruelty
I have to walk

On Staurday we have that chance. Please join a No Kings protest. I had a heart attack in December and then got diagnosed with cancer in January and am taking chemo and radiation, but thios is so important to me. I wish to still struggle for the dream that was presented to me when I first came to the US.

What ever you can do, join a protest. run, march, ride walk, but please show up!!! There are those that say marching and protesting doesn't do anything...just ask the folks who protested against the Vietnam War and those who demonstrated for civil rights, what being out in the streets did to progress those causes.

So I invite you to in person or in spirit on Saturday, to WALK WITH ME!!!!!
Peace Mike C

Signs ready!

2. I am walking WITH you!!

We WILL NOT let this autocratic basturd crush what we have spent a quarter of a millenium building. It has been won at too high a price to surrender it to the likes of donald fucking tRump! We fought a revolution, a civil war, and two world wars; endured lynchings, beatings, attack dogs, fire hoses, depressions, epidemics, shooting massacres and more to gain the liberties we have---and we will NOT give it all away to the likes of donald fucking tRump!

21. I wish I could help, but

My sign turned out to be such an expression of my hatred of this despicable piece of crap that I’d best not carry it.

There will be signs there and I will take one of those.

[brer cat]

8. I will be there.

[calimary]

16. Walking with you, Mike, in Greenville, SC

At least friends of mine are walking with us. Maybe more.We want our country back.

[KitFox]

17. Absolutely! My first protests were 1967-71 while in college and I have been at it in one way or another ever since! My

pals and I bring our instruments, put up a pop up and play and sing. People stop and sing along. It is affirming to be in the midst of throngs of folks feeling the same as you. At a protest last year, I saw this tiny, frail elderly woman slowly walking by. On the front of her walker, her sign said: “Courage Is Found In Unusual Places”. We can’t let up and need to keep insisting, resisting, and persisting whenever and however we can. Be well and safe DU family! 😊

[byronius]

18. I'll be there with my family and a few friends.

[JMCKUSICK]

19. Hear Hear Mike C

My first protest was Presidents day last year, 4 days before my quadruple bypass surgery. I almost didn't make it through as I should never have risked it, but I've been going since and wouldn't miss saturdays for all the tea in India lol.

All joking aside, Our country depends on it!

22. Spent part of the day 'building' the illusion of a jail cell for daughter's planned 'costume' for Saturday

She always comes up with a dilly of a costume and sign for these events. And she got some cheap gold sneakers to wear with her many Trump slap-down ensembles. The Marie Trumpinette was a show stopper, but I think this week's outfit will be an even bigger crowd pleaser.

Did you guys know hospital scrubs are available in orange?

23. Ill be there..California

25. Great OP

26. I'll be there!

I'm too damn old for this. First protest was in 1968; I didn't think I'd have to haul my old ass out into the streets again some 60 years later, but here we are.

27. I had planned to do the NYC one, because I think it will be epic. But I'm just getting

over bronchitis, so sadly I think I will fill out the ranks in a local one.

I have such fond memories of the absolute sea of humanity that was the Women's March in NYC, with a roaring crowd and a sign in front of me that said, "See? You are not alone." It really restored my faith in humanity. I think this one will be like that again. If there's any way I can make it downtown, I will.
