| 4/26/25 Protesters on the Holman Road pedestrian overpass |
As is the case all over the US, protests about disgusting goings-on in the White House and the state of our country have been occurring regularly in Seattle. In addition to a large, central gathering outside the Federal Building every Friday, some neighborhoods have been hosting smaller events sporadically.
When Mary Jean told me she was organizing one in her Crown Hill neighborhood, I decided to join the group. Instead of carrying a sign on a pedestrian overpass, I opted to document the event with sketches. Although the group was small, they received plenty of supportive honks from drivers passing by. Every effort to make our voices heard is worthwhile and important.
My husband and I are both Veterans and we will be joining a regular “hands off” group to protest massive cuts to the VA.
ReplyDeleteRight on, sister! Maybe it's an opportunity for sketch reportage as well as protest?
DeleteNice sketches of the protesters. I've missed the last few protests locally, but am going to a "town hall" hosted by Jaime Rankin today.
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to seeing your sketches from the town hall!
