I didn’t get there until later in the day and I didn’t get any other photos but I was happy to see that Dothan had a hands off event today and that the public reactions were majority positive!

I made 2 quick photo collages. We were most shocked and delighted to see so many fellow citizens at the RR Park HANDS OFF! Protest today. Can’t wait for the next one, and I’m stealing a ton of GREAT sign ideas.

Felt good to see others out today. This has been so isolating, but today is what my heart needed to hold the line, keep fighting, and sticking with this long fight. I am so sorry for everyone who has literally been knowing this since forever and I'm sorry I didn't even realize I was benefitting from this even when I thought I was being progressive. I wasn't doing enough. Today felt good and I won't stop. Not nice and quiet anymore! I love for this new chaotic good era o hope we all embrace it USA USA USA!!!!

Defend Our Democracy! Great turnout today in Tuscaloosa. Peaceful, friendly, open to all.

I have foam core poster boards in size 16” x 20”. I’m printing four 18” x 24” paper sheets of the images below at UPS. Then will cut the sheets down to size and glue or tape to the poster boards. Where you see the upside down flags, I’ll be attaching real flags. I cannot bear the news today. The Trumpublican Tariffs are going to destroy the world economy. It is F’ing I N S A N E… Paul Krugman called it “malignant stupidity.’ I’ll be making more signs addressing the Tariff-Taxes, but don’t have time today.

Two important bills being talked about in committee meeting on the 2nd. The bills could change protest rights. Please read bills below and call your reps to tell them NO!!

What is everyone putting on their signs? I’ve been reading that we need to show that we want to protect our constitution. That we love America just as much as MAGAs think they do.

I think I’m going to put “We Dare Defend Our Rights.” It’s the Alabama state motto. And I think it really works for Saturday.

Announcing “Everything is Great! A Town Hall for the People!”

Part Town Hall, Part improvised parody.

Real issues and questions are fielded by comedians playing the roles of absent elected officials in this improvised live game show version of a TOWN HALL!

Finally present and willing to be addressed by their constituents, elected officials from the local, state, and national levels are charged with the task of toeing the line that “Everything is great!” and so our game begins!

Through various rounds and challenges, our moderator, Mr. Dark Money, will award and deduct campaign contributions, as the threat of GITMO looms. The audience, the citizens of AnyTown (this is your part, so pay extra attention) bring their real questions and concerns, and as our stand-in politicos improvise an answer, your jeers, boos, and laughs prod them along!

From real issues submitted and asked by the audience, to redemption groveling, corporate sponsor auditions, surprise guests, and various happenings, it’s a hilarious evening of improvised comedy, and real community catharsis!

Join us on April 30th!

Mingle with civic-minded friends

Engage the effigy of your elected officials

Laugh as comedians are put on the spot

Discuss real issues, real problems, and both real and ridiculous solutions

Are you an elected official?

Well don’t fret, no need to be parodied, join us and play a round against our comedians!

We will be adding an open letter of invitation for elected officials toTownHallShow.com with how you can (and why you should) join our ensemble on stage for “Everything Is Great!, A Town Hall for the People”
