It was just block after block of people coming from Malcolm X Park headed downtown. Lots of energy despite the heat, and cheers from passersby, as well as church bells ringing in support.

9. Wouldn't it be nice if we had regular demonstrations, people marching in the street, bells ringing, just because......

........it was a nice day and people were happy?

10. Lovely thought.

11. Isn't it though? I take some solace in the fact that pro-democracy gathering do tend to be happy affairs, while.....

.......Trump rallies are just just a bunch of angry people who feel put upon by life.

15. the ones we have in Fort Worth are like block parties

We have a lovely downtown park where we can gather and have speakers, register voters, get volunteers etc. Usually aroundd 2000 - 3000 attend.

Speaking of which we will have the No Kings 2 event and the Handmaid's Tale marchers will be back.
