I went to a protest rally/march today on the Boston Common. The March for Truth (or marches, there were events in more than 100 cities) demanded an investigation into Trump's Russia ties, which overlapped a more general anti-Trump message. The speakers in Boston talked about some of the resistance actions since December, as well as reminding us how much crap has gone down in the last six months that we've needed to fight.
I'm no good at estimating crowds, certainly not from inside, but the Boston turnout was at least several hundred, maybe as much as a couple of thousand. The march went around a loop on the Common; it felt a little odd to be starting and ending in the same place.
This time I remembered to bring water and sunscreen (though not a hat). I really ought to start making signs. I skipped a chance to have lunch with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude's sister to save my energy for the protest; Cattitude wound up not feeling up to doing both, so I'm glad I saved my energy. (If I knew his sister better it might have been a harder choice.)
[Yes, this is sketchy and I may try to revise or extend it later, but I wanted to post something.]
