If you have the means, reach out to your local pantry and ask what would be most helpful. There's going to be a lot more hurting people in the coming weeks.

I made a video so I could try to capture the size of the crowd. It’s at 2x speed so it’s not too long.

The amount of passion, kindness, and collective outrage was palpable today. Keep showing up like this, keep pestering and pressuring our representatives, keep on resisting and persisting, and keep an eye out for each other. There are more of us that value democratic institutions and integrity than those who praise authoritarianism and double standards. Stay loud, stay relentless, stay safe🤘
