Yay!!! I just got back from my first protest for BLM. [View all]

I was getting gas and saw a lot of people with signs and asked if I could join them and they said of course. Someone gave me a sign and to make it even better I happened to be wearing my BIDEN 2020 mask. It was great.

I was very surprised that more people than not driving by were in our favor. A few flip offs, rude comment, and my favorite a BA but mostly support. I am amazed because I live in one of the redder counties in SouthWest Washington.

I have the contacts now to attend more protests so I am excited to be able to be there now to support BLM.

On a "final word" we had a police officer drive past us who waved and gave us a thumbs up. Don't forget about the good police officers. The bad ones put them on the back burner.

I forgot to mention, everybody had a mask and were trying to practices proper distancing.
