Earlier this week,
hosted my post on her Substack about how I’ve found the fortitude to keep fighting over the years, and why there’s still reason to be hopeful, despite the current political landscape. Last weekend was a perfect example of how and why we should continue to fight; the June 14th for the No Kings protests were the largest in U.S. history.As I wrote in my post (and reshared here on my Substack): “You may not feel like your individual actions can make a difference, but transformative change often starts with a surprisingly small group of committed individuals. We don't need to convince everyone to join us. What we need is a critical mass of courageous people.”
There are so many ways to fight back against injustice, both big and small. And that’s what I’d like to talk about today.
👉 For today’s Thursday Thread, here’s what I want to know:
Did you march in the protests on June 14th? Tell us what you saw!
What’s next for you? How will you continue to act in your daily life? Big and small ways count!

3,000 people in my mostly red Western Colorado county. Biggest turnout ever with a true diversity of ages participating. So proud people are standing up against autocracy and facism. I'm involved with a local action group who coordinates with Indivisible and other groups protecting the democratic process. Staying informed and engaged. Calling representatives, boycotting, and speaking up whenever the opportunity arises.
I share my birthday with yamtits, so I did all I could to focus on the positive while he attempted his birthday spectacle. I showed up wearing my Sheroes dress to the very large event in Truckee CA, and brought 180 inspirational rubber bracelets to give out as party favors. It was a very happy birthday, and I was glad to focus on the positive on 6/14 instead of the fearmongering and darkness of this administration! And when I return to the Bay Area, my book from (indie) Powell's is waiting for me to read! Hoping to see you at one of your Bay Area book events with other familiar faces! xoxo
