since Tues when the march was announced in DC has gone from 6 to over 600 nationwide. I went to two this week alone and there is another on the 30th (all in San Diego). I am an activist and have been to tons of rallies for 1 1/2 years (today's event was my 14th) so I am getting pretty good at judging these things. This is going to be about as big as the March For Our Lives (several hundred thousand most likely).
I just came back from one downtown where several thousand people attended as well as the 2 Dem congresspeople/reps. I liked the signs that said I REALLY DO CARE, DO U? on a green poster board to look like Melanie's jacket.
RESIST! REMOVE! Peace.
More cities have joined Wash DC and over 500 cities have an event planned. Some events are on other dates (San Diego is June 23rd AND June 30th). Spread the word and RESIST....IT WORKS!
Find an event near you, donate, make phone calls and write to your reps, sign the petition. THANKS!!!!
The executive order that Donald Trump signed today is not a solution to the crisis created by his administration; it keeps kids imprisoned indefinitely, and doesn't reunite thousands of separated families. But it does show the administration is reacting to public pressure, so we will continue to increase our pressure for justice at hundreds of events on Saturday, June 30, to say that families belong together.
