April 29th was Climate Change Day across the country. Washington, D.C. had 200,000 marchers. Our normal protest venue had the annual Procession of the Species on the same day which conflicted not in terms of theme, but in RULES so the local march was held in a neighboring small coastal town that has been fighting for quite some time on the crude oil pollution problems besides various other environmental concerns involving timber, shellfish, and environmental protections of the rainforests.
Turn out was about 100. For this tiny town out in the middle of no where, that was actually kind of impressive.
The woman in the photo above is wearing a blue t-shirt that says "Think While It's Still Legal". That would make a good sign!
For the rally we were located in a park surrounded on one side with incoming tourist traffic and on the other side outgoing tourist traffic.
Although the Dump won this area, obviously not the popular vote! One idiot yelled, "Get a life!" One protester yelled back, "We have one and we want to keep it." LOL!
Love the brightness of my signs, but I'm getting too verbose. My favorite sign for the day was "Remember When Lying Was Wrong?". We marched through the tiny town, back to the park, and then my friend and I took a detour and left.
We had bigger plans...
