Pics from the protest in NJ that my son attended...

Geez, just realized I’ve never posted pics, but I’ll try. The posters are my sister’s. She’s an artist. I’m proud, but also jealous. Mine would have a stick figure and some innocent person would ask, “I’m sorry, but is that a? I don’t know, snake? Stick? Balloon on a stick?” She’s awesome, and even more awesome to have brought my son while I was ill.
Apologies ahead of time if I can’t get the pictures ASAP, but I’m sure with help, they will come to you! IMG_0745.jpeg
I’m only attaching the first. Let me know if it works, and if not, what I’m screwing up!

since I do not know how to post them on DU, even when requested, I am unable to do it with my tablet and very little tech skills. I am an old school artist/illustrator and still do most of it by hand. My signs are cool and professional looking. My goal is to get attention for my causes and not for my artwork. When I carry my signs I give it 110% and since I am sick all the time now with diseases it takes days to recover from the protests...I am out front, loud, strong and empowered! RESISTANCE WORKS! I will keep doing it until I physically and financially can't any longer.

Like you, not for recognition. Her posters were gorgeous. I have Lupus (over 25 years now, and since it’s progressive, it’s bad now) and she has RSD which is also awful. She uses a walker, but was able to take my son. The heat makes me very sick and the direct sunlight brings on massive seizures now. Not exactly what we hoped to focus on during the protest. Sadly, I haven’t been able to even do the Lupus walk in 4 years.
I am not aware of your illness, but wish you a day with more health and less pain tomorrow.

If you upload your pictures to https://postimages.org/
...the site should give you a complete address you can use to view the picture on the web.
Once you can view that pic in your browser, right-click on the image and select "copy image location".
Paste that by right-clicking and selecting "paste" inside the message text area of a post to DU.

Let me know if you need more help.
