Just got back from my first ever protest rally. What a great experience! [View all]

Between 800 and 1000 people in Ambler PA. Which was great to see.

The important part is that the experience is a watershed for me. I'm now "in". I'm thinking about what I should be doing next. How I can do more. And I know I'm not the only one feeling this way. Like a lot of people I talk to, I thought this kind of activism was mainly in the past. That we were done w/ this stuff. But I'm ready for the new edition. And I hope you are too.
