Today's Stand Out for Democracy needs to be cancelled, due to the anticipated day-long snowstorm, a town-wide on-street parking ban, and a travel advisory.
Another cold one, but this Saturday had all the snow piled up from the storm. However, with the sun shining, it was beautiful. We met across the street from our usual spot, where there is a plowed sidewalk.
A good turnout for a cold day. 20 of us stood out for Democracy. In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, here are some applicable MLK quotes for why we protest:
Eight of us stood out for democracy on this cold day in December. We may not have names like Dasher, Dancer, Comet and Blitzen, but we all carried messages of peaceful protest, and the desire to support all our fellow human beings.
Another chilly day, but 11 tough patriots stood out to protect the rule of law and our First Amendment rights. An hour is doable even when the air is on the cold side. You get a warm glow and a sense of pride for supporting democracy.
