and the parents led by the children as they show the world that 'YES WE CAN' organize nationally and say 'ENOUGH' to the producers of death - the gun manufacturers and the politicians owned by them.
Those pink pussy hats from day one of this administration showed everyone that resistance is the only option against these fascists.
Thank you in advance young folks and everyone else supporting them.

Local 10 Florida has been very good since this slaughter of innocents at Parkland.

(269,045 posts)We have been resisting but the kids have taken over - succession planning is the best way to solve problems.
Go young people - take over.

(26,267 posts)I'm just getting organized to head out the door. Downtown Flint parking is free on Saturdays, which is SO convenient and there is a huge lot just about a block from the rally site - a big reason to arrive early. I'm lucky that our Farmer's Market is right across the street from the site so I'm heading out early to pick up a few things. Then I'll head to the venue and see if they need any help.
We will be lucky if it reaches 40 degrees, today, but we have abundant sunshine. The organizers just emailed and said we are expecting a good crowd. I'll be taking photos.
Yikes - got to find my sunglasses!

(4,940 posts)kids, young adults, college students, oil workers, teachers, principals, cops, firefighters, paramedics, working citizens, retired citizens, folks from in and out of town - we don't start till 3:00 p.m. ADT and I can't "march" (broken pelvis & on wheels) but I'll make it on wheels as long as spouse is willing to push! All the usual culprits will be there - city and borough (county) elected officials, even the Ruffed Grouse Society is showing up! I would not doubt that every musher within 75 miles will bring at least part of their teams, and everyone who has a dog will have puppy there, too!
This is the most inspiring, heartwarming and hopeful protest I've seen in forever. YOU GO KIDS!
The sculpture is great and represents the "first family" of the area. The second is the webcam in the plaza itself but you'll have to click on the link. It's to our promo folks in the borough, and therefore supposedly secure!
