Luckily, The Cedar Rapids Gazette has covered local rallies with inches and photos. Abena is a welcome voice. Earlier this week I heard Don Lemon state that many people of color were staying away from the Hands Off events due to being weary of fighting for Democracy. I was impressed with the online info by the Hands Off organizers to go low and slow in the face of conflict and confrontation at an event. Educating rally participants is a key component to this movement. MLK spoke to peaceful protest and that is what we need now. Thanks to all - starting my day and engine with you.
