They're about to get soaked. Nasty weather on the way. It likely has already put a damper on some of the other marches in these parts, unfortunately.

I was out there with my fellow protesters today. There were more people out today, by far, than ever came to see the candidates of either party. WOW!

Good job! We need to protest as much as possible! This is democracy in action.

Main Street was filled with people from one end to the other and up the courthouse steps. I didn't know there were so many blue dots around me!

Atlanta. The estimate I heard was 15,000, but maybe it was more.

Even in the rain, with tornado warnings for this afternoon, lots of people showed up!

At the rally starting point

March beginning

(March began at bottom of hill past the gray building.)

Slightly dampened spirits didn't stop our marchers!

This was the end point - much too small a space for the number of participants!
