Impressions from today's protest: although those of us who got there early initially panicked at the low early turnout, we needn't have worried. At one point, people were pouring in from every direction. It was clear that this was the biggest protest turnout we have had so far locally. I talked to a very earnest GenZ participant who told me that the ones South of us also saw huge increases in participation.

We had exactly one counterprotestor trying to stir up shit, who left when no one would engage with him. I am 100% sure he will go on FB and claim that "These people don't even know what they're protesting about."

There were no police, unlike every "Hands Off" or "No Kings" protest before. No local cops at all. Two state police cars drove by.

Fun signs and costumes will follow in this thread. I asked every person whether or not they wanted their faces blurred. Everyone said "No," but I thought better of it and covered their faces with stickers anyway.
