Thanks for reading, Jennifer! Where did you join a rally?

I was in Portland Oregon- numbers far exceeded expectations. Had to close a four lane parkway street and a major bridge, peaceful all the way. Even the unexpectedly blocked traffic participated.

Hi Karla! I imagine there was a good turnout in Roanoke, too?

Probably 1k+ in a town of 100k, which was quite stunning to see! In addition to those gathered at the rally proper, people with signs lined the sidewalks all around the busy intersection of Elm & Jefferson where cars streaming by honked horns for more than an hour. I posted a short vid on my fb page. Wish I could add a photo to this comment— want you to see our sign. XXOO
