I found great value in the “No Kings” protest. Despite the MAGA characterization of a “hate protest”, I found the large local gathering anything but about hate. We are in a time of great and dangerous disruption of how our government should function. Given that we are less than a year into the Trump presidency and several weeks into a government shutdown, it is easy to become dispondent and feel helpless. Such large gatherings offer the perspective that your reactions to the present circumstances are far from out of touch, and demonstrate that there are many like you out there willing to make the effort to take to the streets in support of a more positive and less selfish view of our country. Participate in future events of this type. It is a great and positive experience.
