I went to a candlelight vigil / rally for Renee Good last night. [View all]

There were about 100 or so people there, late afternoon / early evening.
Scottsdale Arizona, traditionally a very conservative area of the Phoenix metro-area.

Really encouraging, since it was thrown together really quickly.

Also encouraging was the very large numbers of cars honking in support.
We held it during rush hour and so a high volume of cars went by and the vast majority were positive.
Of course there were some jerks, but overall a very positive experience.
It really helped my mental health. I've been incredibly depressed lately.
