I asked a few folks, Is this your first protest this time around? (No) What do you think of the turnout? (Great!) etc etc It helped me feel more engaged and got my mind off the cold<br/><br/>3/x 2025-04-06T12:34:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs24henacs7vnsw8yd7ur7vasnhd2y6ls82wqxnzsqsh6s0z20xqaczyqu5jnef4e75535d6q7v53rc68uswv6l5x8me04y80mzn2m6c99hxumgk36 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2ypzt2chfjuk2fzqgtwmv5uzwyzajt7kr29ax888zrjmrqnz760g6lzrnt'>nevent1q…zrnt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I was hoping there’d be chants and singing but without BIPOC leaders, I’m not surprised at how quiet we were, despite having roughly between 2,000-3,000 people by my count.<br/><br/>Protest songs and chants build an identity among us and summarizes our message and goals:<br/><br/>What do we want??<br/> Justice!<br/>When do we want it??<br/> Now!!<br/><br/>——-<br/><br/>No justice?

It was a good choice for me: smaller numbers, easy access, and closer to home. <br/><br/>I got there 30 mins after it was due to start, so if there were speakers, I missed them.
