(5,370 posts)Everything you said about the people at the march was true here as well. We were all polite, kind, caring, and FIRED UP! It was very healing for me and my family. At our march, there were lots of children, people with babies in strollers, well-behaved, friendly dogs on leashes. We all got along fabulously.
I have to say, I was also impressed with how well we were protected by the Sacramento PD. Every intersection was blocked for several blocks in either direction, and the officers stationed nearest to us were mostly, if not all, women. People loved this, and little girls often ran over and gave them hugs, which they knelt and returned. No one who wished us harm could have approached us once we were on the move. I felt protected in a way I have never felt before in a political march.
I am impressed with ALL of us, nationwide, worldwide. We are strong, and we are not gonna take this.
