(85,182 posts)We braved the rain to stand on a busy commercial-district street corner during afternoon rush hour, holding signs for our preferred candidate for Congress.
Our local Indivisible group hosted. Screw the rain! In truth, there really wasnt ANY to speak of. I only started noticing an occasional sprinkle on the way home after our one-hour sign-waving had ended.
Best of all, I think I made a couple of new friends! Or acquaintances of like mind, at the very least! Got their contact info and just sent hello emails so they have my contact info, too.
Shit, if theres any way to meet people with whom you might share common interests and political positioning, this is it! Sometimes, somebody brings a friend. Or today, these two were Indivisible members from nearby but from other local Indivisible groups. Never mind! This is GOOD! Its really nice to know a) that theyre out there; b) that theyre as motivated as you are, and in the same direction; and c) theyre very likely some nice people worth knowing anyway. So far this is how its going.
More than a few of us wore masks. I think it was about half n half. I did, because I love my cheap blue rhinestone-covered mask and always feel all cha-cha-cha when I wear it. Why the hell not? Why cant you have a party on yer face? It perks up your mood, and right now with bad news up-to-the-eyeballs, that seems like a good idea.
This was a good day.
