I went to one but it was not well attended. But I had to leave early so it may have picked up after the music started. It was put on by the AFL-CIO. Texas has done a good job of dissing unions. Still there was enthusiasm, signs, T-shirts, booths, etc. every body counts
I plan to sit out on the median with my sign during rush hour every other day. "Save Democracy for our Kids" is nonconfrontational and may hit some vestiges of giving-a-darn among the magas and some others.
Love it Judith! The children are our future. We are at a crossroads. And I believe we still have a chance to “right the ship” for them and future generations. I really believe this if they can only get off their damn iPhones and social media long enough to listen to what is actually taking place. I don’t think 1984, Fahrenheit 451 , or Animal Farm have been required reading since I was in school many moons ago. We thought of it as science fiction or at least we hoped it was, and that “It Can’t Happen Here” ( another great read by Sinclair Lewis) actually couldn’t happen here. But it is happening here now. I will only speak for myself but I was naive thinking all through my youth that we were so lucky to live in a free country, and felt sorry for the kids living in Russia, East Germany and China.
I along with many had the mistaken idea that democracy was ours and it would always be. Then working, going to college while raising a child and just trying to survive and provide a life for my daughter. I think I like many, I lost track of how democracy works. It is comprised of all of us being involved and so many including myself took it for granted. UNTIL the big orange felon, I guess if there is anything I can thank him for, it’s for waking so many people up to how fragile our democracy is. And it only takes one despot with a cult following to take advantage of the sleeping and also struggling populace to cajole them into believing that he can fix everything and made great again by the despot.
Well okay Judith I went on a rant. But your post about the young people struck a nerve that had to express itself. Thank you 🩷

Thanks, Karen. Cheeky stuff is usually welcome here.
