WE HAD 35 PEOPLE at this protest; the largest for one of our overpass protests!  The weather was great, we had lots of fun, made new friends and got lots of waves and honks.

September 6: Greet the Football Fans

It was raining today but everyone who signed up to protest today showed up to speak up about the decimation of the CDC and the attacks on science.  We take inspiration from the US Postal Service: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" ---  Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these protesters from speaking up!  When you see the photos, don't miss the monarch butterfly that joined us by leaving it's chrysalis and hanging out on the fence.  The only monarch we want to see!!

August 31: Greet the Football Fans

WOW, just WOW!   Thank you so much!  We had 24 people yesterday at the Toftrees overpass and you brought your joy, waving hands, waving flags, holding signs, patriotic bling, helpful hands… and the list goes on.  I saw people making new friends, catching up with old friends.  It was an inspiring and uplifting event.

And that’s what this is all about in these dark days — our protests encourage each other and the people who see us… well maybe not the folks with a finger up or a thumb down.   BUT maybe we made them think?

Aug 24 "Shut Down Moshannon Valley Processing Center"

In Philipsburg, PA, bus loads of people from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia joined Centre and Clearfield county residents in protesting the largest ICE detention facility in northeast United States. There were inspiring speakers and sobering speakers.  We learned of conditions in the facility and the cruel means used to kidnap people from our streets.  The even was covered on the Rachel Maddow show the next day and received local coverage as well:  WPSU-FM  

Aug 15 Overpass Installation

It was hot, but we had fun!  Lots of supportive honks and we were amazed at the number of truckers who honked support.
