1. I lie low. Was a victim of crimes. Don't want to run into the guy or his

followers. So demonstrations are out. Fortunately i am in canada so there is not as much to protest.

2. 4 so far, this year.

More than I could easily count from 1969 to the present.

One thing that many first time protesters say is that they are surprised how good it feels to demonstrate in public.

Many also admit that they feel frightened as well.

6. Every time I go to a protest with someone they ALWAYS say

how good it felt afterwards. It really does make you feel like you have participated in democracy and "walked the walk" and it does get the adrenaline flowing.

8. I feel the same way about my union conventions.

Group solidarity.

3. Kids in cages,

8th grade, Kent State. Got me suspended. This is when dad and I parted ways.

Marched from Boston as part of the DNC2RNC March.

... it was the night before the House impeachment vote, my sisters and I attended the impeachment rally in downtown Pittsburgh.

Actually my sisters and I have participated in several rallies in the past few years, including the March for Our Lives and others. I'm more of a "warm-weather" protester, but this impeachment rally was really urgent.
