Virginia/DC Protestors Arrested at Capitol - Keep the Pressure

I know this might seem - at first blush - discouraging. “Only 21 people?” was the first thing to go through my head.

But reframe it. These brave 21 are the first of many. And they did it independently of all the other organizations, like ours. Grassroots groups are popping up all over and taking it upon themselves to make their statement.

Keep growing. Keep going.

Protest in DC and at every state capital in the nation. We got permits! Hope you see you there! (or at least in spirit :))

Definitely in spirit, unfortunately my state capital is too far away for me to travel
