So I went to a rally today.

There was a rally in my town today, to protest what SCOTUS is trying to do to Roe, and I was more than happy to attend. We all stood along a busy highway and held up our signs for passing drivers to see. We weren't a huge crowd, just a few dozen, but we were very visible and very enthusiastic.

Some people brought their own signs, but most of us used these signs that were provided by the local NOW chapter:



The best part was when people driving by would honk their horns to signify agreement. I'm happy to say we got lots of honks! Of course, others drove past us in silence, but we didn't encounter any outright hostility. All in all, it was a great feeling just to stand there with a bunch of people who all shared the same dismay about what's happening in this country and were ready to fight!

I hear there have been lots of events like this all over the country since the leak, and I hope they continue. The forced birthers need to be continually reminded that they do NOT own the bodies of American women and we're not going to take this lying down!

4. Whenever I would march in a rally/protest

the sound of honking horns was very energizing. The only time I got rude remarks to my Dem signs was when a tourist bus would pass by and a bunch of grey haired tourists (obviously not from our blue city and state) inside. I would always shout back to go home and not come back to pollute our area with their hate.

5. Well done, ShazzieB!! I can't wait for my next protest. I'm thinking about what to put on my sign.

Any suggestions? What were some of the ones you had today?

It's so great that you got positive feedback! I'd love to hear more about it. ❤

6. I'm glad it was peaceful and you found support among those passing by.

I live in a tiny town and always go to a larger city to join marches. My sister and I are planning to go to Chattanooga for the march on the 14. I find it very invigorating to join a group of like minded people who are passionate for the cause.
