Street Rally for Democracy

West Seattle Indivisible came home Saturday to hold a local protest in our community.
 
All along California Ave SW from the Morgan Junction to the Admiral Junction the calls to preserve our democracy and support the rule of law took place at more than 15 intersections and at times, along the sidewalks in between. 
 
An estimated 2000 West Seattle neighbors came out with signs inspired to defend our Constitution, prevent authoritarianism and oligarchy, maintain rights for immigrants and trans people, uphold the rule of law and many other issues.
 
They let their voices be heard for more than two hours. Some held signs from wheelchairs. Children proudly lifted hand-made signs above their heads. A high school marching band drummer was joined by people playing five-gallon bucket drums. Parents pushed babies in strollers bedecked with protest signs.

At each corner were whistles and noisemakers. Motorists responded with honking horns and raised fists.
 
On April 19th the fight for our future was at our doorstep. Today, the fight continues.
