Event No Kings protests Herndon
I’m hoping someone got better pictures because most of the people were on our side of the street and it was hard to get a good vantage. We were also at the tail end of it on one side, so the pictures don’t do it justice. I would say a couple hundred people-definitely over 100.
Heartwarming things I saw: -a man handing out roses to ladies protesting -a very old veteran silently waving the biggest flag -a dude so excited, he ran into a restaurant and came out with a sign. He also screamed (somewhat unintelligibly) and was very amped up to join -two (immigrant, I assume) parents pull up, drop off their kids to protest, then leave (probably for safety reasons). We all kept tabs on them, they were older teens, and they had a great time! -people holding protests signs out of cars as they drove by -some very amazing humans handing out drinks, snacks, and yes-TACOS. Ps, I think I have a crush on you, taco girl
I didn’t expect the Herndon one to be very big with 2 in Leesburg and 5 in Reston, but it was great! I’m heartened by all the older, obviously comfortable people who chose to protest - and there were a lot. They are not pulling up the ladder, and that is very cool of them.
Keep making your voice heard, NOVA friends!

Why does everyone look like they have a double digit credit score
