We lined the streets near the government plaza holding signs. LOTS of passing cars honked in support. One would start, and it would set off a chain reaction. It was heartening to know how many people supported our cause. Big trucks hauling gravel, delivery drivers, you name it. I saw a few middle fingers, but they were far outnumbered. Good vibes for the most part. LOUD. I'm sure it reverberated in all the government buildings.

One brilliant activist had a bullhorn and said, “If you want to keep active, I have a QR code for the 5 calls app, ACLU know your rights, and a farm volunteer sign-up.” It was easy and such a good idea! You should steal it. Here was where the link went: https://linktr.ee/blackjoyoregon
