    Oh awesome, thankyou Norah!!!

    That was actually my first ever protest, and it was overwhelmingly huge.

      Oh hey, maybe I saw you there Sasha! :3

      It was a little overwhelming, thankfully I had my trusty ear muffs with me. Not a bad one for your first! I brought a friend who had never been to a protest before either.

        Good chance you did actually, I was a pay the rent collector and watched the entire thing go past and the ran ahead a few times to try and double up our intake 😆

        I hate that we’ll have to do it again in January, but I hope I can do even more this time.
