Beautiful, inspiring writing, Summer! It does say it all. Thank you! I felt the very same things at our protest in Fort Bragg CA(1500-2000 in a town of 7,000): joy in community, courage from unity, and something like a neural pathway being newly created in me that took me from a reclusive introvert to someone who actually WANTS to be out there seen and joining in.
A protest where community shows up with passion, joy and funny costumes! I love it! I also loved how a magnificent crowd showed up with similar passion and vibe to fill Travis Park and Alamo Plaza in San Antonio, TX!!! With the complete waste of time and money by our Governor 'Trump Wannabe' Abbott, deploying a contingent of citizen soldiers (National Guard) that no one asked for, to ensure the Rule of Law, ha!!

Spot hitting!
Uou captured the feeling beautifully Summer. Wherever we were during the protests, we were together and supporting one another
Estimated 80,000 people at the Capitol in Saint Paul. It looked like ti - I never got within 400 yards, and I started from 3/4 mi away.
Start killing our legislators and Minnesotans come out in large numbers. State Patrol said "stay home for safety," but we would not be stopped.
Summer, you fill me/us with hope xx
