One is 1.5 miles down the hill, the other two are only three miles away.

They are staggering their times so one can show up at one, two or all three of these particular demonstrations. We'll do the one down the hill at what has been called "Democracy Corner" since the Bush days when there were the 'duelling truth squads' on either side of the street, depending on one's political orientation, which would assemble weekly (for years) and yell.

We're loud and active around here lol.

My sign is basically "No More Bullshit".
