NO KINGS DURHAM WAS BIG

Russ and I ran into our friend Amy at the farmer’s Market this morning. “Are you protesting?” She asked. And I replied, “I am always protesting.”

Then she invited me to our friend Michelle’s house to make signs before we went to the Durham NO KINGS protest. We didn’t have a lot of time, but we made signs and went downtown. As we walked to CCB Plaza Amy said, “I hope we have like 1,000 People.”

“I am certain we will have more than 1,000.”

There were between 5,000 and 10,000 people there. There were great signs. And all peaceful. We marched from the plaza down Rigsbee street and back up Foster. The march was about eight blocks each direction and it was packed.

I got over heated and am so thankful for our band of friends who got me water, and fanned me with our signs and rolled up my pants. I drew the line at taking off my shirt which Amy tried to Get me to do by taking hers off in solidarity. I figured I did not need people protesting me being shirtless. Thanks, Ann for being a great nurse, Jamie, Michelle and Amy for being great fanners and Leighton for Water delivery.

Mostly way to go Durham for turning out! WE ARE THE PEOPLE! Don’t forget how we got this country. We will not allow it to be stolen from us.
