Other DUers going to Tornillo today
I’m on my way to Tornillo with two Alamogordo women friends to immigrant tent city, joining Rep Beto O’Rourke. Any ideas or advice?

ThankyouThankyouThankyou!! From the bottom of my heart for doing this. I’m joining you in heart and spirit! Be loud and proud for all of us DUers that can’t be there. I know you are carrying all of our hearts with you. Stay hydrated, take little snackies, a small towel and an umbrella. Maybe some sunscreen. I’ve been looking for a protest here in the Columbus OH area. Closest I’ve seen is Dayton but I can’t get there so I’m really happy you and your friends are doing this!

35. Thousands with us
Wonderful surprise for me to see Congressman Kennedy there, too, saying, “Ai, se puede” (yes, we can)-Caesar Chavez’ rally cry. We couldn’t see children but had to be happy with showing support for families. I’m too tech challenged to post pictures from my phone but our favorite signs said: “Even with Trump’s election, I did not Nazi this coming”. “End family separation.” “Family has no borders.” “Keep reading, Jeff. ‘Love does no evil to their neighbor; hence Love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans ...something. “This is a manufactured crisis.” “Zero tolerance is torture.” I am proud of being part of this show of support for our children. Thank you, my DU brothers and sisters for being there with us.

38. Thanks to you and all who joined you.
The larger the crowds -the more the media coverage - the more that even parts of our society that doesn't pay attention is likely to see - and perhaps start paying attention.
