Today was a first for me. I participated in the NO KINGS! Flag Day Rally/Protest in Sioux Falls. It is hard to estimate the size of those who lined Minnesota Avenue for two+ blocks, on both sides of the street.
I attended college during the protests of the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement, but I did not participate in protests on campus or in the college town. Now I feel a need to join others in sharing my concern for the well-being of our country and its people, resources, laws, education, and more.
The Pride March was 10AM-11AM on Phillips Avenue. Some of the participants joined the NO KINGS!

I am only 8! and I know that trump is BAD. My cat could do better!

Love this one!
Yes. I need to be able to tell them I did not stay silent!
I registered for the event. I did not receive any money for participating in the event. Yes, I would do it again.
