#Fightfor15 going STRONG all over the US today

People are out in force.

Bernie is speaking at the #Fightfor15 rally in Washington, DC

Twitter is going strong for him, for racial justice, for economic justice, for immigrant justice.

Hillary's absence is much noted. So are her past record and current records though she did send out a lame tweet that caused much mockery.

And best of all for me as an activist, Bernie supporters are everywhere wearing their Bernie pins and reaching out to a very receptive and enthusiastic crowd.

It's a very good day for Bernie.

I won't be posting much today due to #Fightfor15 but it's a great Bernie kind of day!

....and there is a LARGE police presence at the McDonald's across the street from me. There are no protesters yet, but the cops are sure ready for it.

Not a very big number of protesters. Didn't really see the same cop presence either.

Usually has the #Fightfor15 and #FeelTheBern and/or @BernieSanders attached to the Tweets. Good show for workers who need a raise and for Bernie.
