and clear tape over my signs. Meeting up with several friends there. We have choice of 3 rallies all within easy driving distance so that is encouraging to see. I attended my first protest while in college in the late 60’s so it’s still in this old hippie’s DNA!😁. Those of us who are lucky enough, health wise to be out there, know that if you can’t physically attend you are supportive in so many other ways. We are one in the spirit of resistance ! Love ya DU family ! 🩷
