Need an uplift? DO SOMETHING. I can't demonstrate for longer than an hour because of my illness

but this morning, there were protesters outside our local ICE.

They had been there all night.

since I can't join them, I took them water.

It felt good to actually be participating.

Not everyone can spend hours demonstrating but there are little things that one can do to be a part of it.

It was a small $3.00 thing but that thing felt so good! It was also needed and well received.

3. Great suggestion

Probably cookies are always welcome too.

5. I thought of making cookies, but wanted to get the water to them

Maybe I will make some on Friday in case there are more weekend demonstrations

8. I kinda meant it as a joke --

but, hey, why not? FWIW, water is ALWAYS a good choice, IMO.

4. Good on you!

All you can do is the best you can do. We are all obliged to do what we can do.

6. K&R and kudos to you!

Your contribution was desperately needed right now!

7. I so desperately want to be out there with the demonstrations/marches but logistically

it is not feasible for me to be there for more than an hour or so.


I have done that-march then go home-then go back but I lose so much by doing that.


I decided that from this point on, I will take water, sports drinks, or what ever else I can take to help them keep from overheating and provide a little comfort.

I have another 3 cases of water in my jeep waiting for the next time. And we know there will be a next time.
