Democracy needs your courage

On Sunday May 31st, 60 intrepid Social Justice sign wavers suffered through a bright sunny day holding signs and waving at passing cars to express their concerns about human rights. 

They acted as if they were happy to be there (spoiler alert: they were). Not because this is even an issue, but because they want to get the message out. While the signs' messages varied, the overall concern was equality for all humans.

Passing vehicles honked and waved and showed support. Every Sunday is a small commitment - to spend an hour to remind passersby that people are willing to take the time to express their concerns about the country's current situation. 

Unpaid volunteers spend an hour of each Sunday to remind others to pay attention.

You can stand up and make your voice heard by joining with others at one of four "Social Justice Sundays" sign-wavings in June (7, 14, 21, and 28) organized by Everyday Activists (@everydayshoreline.bsky.social) at the intersection of Aurora Avenue North and N 205th St at the Shoreline-Edmonds line, 1-2pm.

Come to one or all four, bring a sign or just yourself (some signs are available to borrow), to make your voice heard. This is a peaceful protest.

Non-perishable food and toiletry items are collected for donation to a local organization helping those in need. If you are able, bring one item or a bag full. All donations are anonymously placed in a central area.

As one sign read: Democracy needs your courage.

Helping illegals is a federal crime punishable by jail time. Please help some.

I look forward to the day some of the people that support the current administration will take a look at the concomitant issues we are dealing with. ICE could be arresting illegal immigrants, without the President enriching himself and his family with insider trading, crypto, sweetheart contracts for "improvements" around the the Peoples' House, gutting public services, reducing staff at the IRS who could audit the Uber-wealthy, shutting down atmospheric (and other) research, etc. The redistricting in advance of the mid-terms should tell you all you need to know - if he was confident he represents "the people" the Republicans would be able to win on merit, and not have to disenfranchise others. ps: he used to be a big fan of mail-in voting until he realized it allows too many people to participate -Republicans only win when fewer people are vote.

Are you immune to IRS audits? The guy at the top can commit tax fraud and we’ll never know.
