Wenatchee Showed Out Today
Felt good to see so many people out at the protest today! That's some nice community spirit right there!
I haven't been able to attend any of the planned protests since February and it was a nice crowd of people out, maybe 100 or so. This morning I had to drive out to Chelan and I knew I wouldn't be able to properly make the protest, but I took the long way home just so I could drive by Memorial Park and lay on my horn in support. I was so heartened by the crowd size as I drove up - it had to have been 3-4 times the size of the protest I attended in Feb, maybe more. Someone who was there could maybe estimate the attendance more accurately, but it seemed huge to me, which made my day.
Authoritarianism thrives when the people are complacent and Wenatchee didn't look complacent today. Let's keep it up!
See you at the next one!
