I need to tell you this:
The other day I drove by this woman
Holding a sign
Protesting children in cages
Just her
Shes been out every day
All summer
Shes been flipped off
Had drinks thrown at her
Cursed at
And shes still out there
I dont know her name
But shes my hero.

I wish I knew more about him. I'd like to be sure he has comfortable shoes. Maybe someone more savvy than I can figure out how we can help/show our appreciation and support.
