Visibility Brigade Protest

It is cold out and I am still protesting. This month Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered in Minneapolis by ICE. The people of Minnesota have taken to the streets in sub-zero degree temperatures to fight. 

One of my 2026 resolutions was to go on a visibility brigade. Those are defined as gathering on an overpass. I learned at the Princeton protest this month that Lawrenceville has a group called Lawrence Citizen Activists that meets about a mile from my house on the 206 overpass for I-95. I joined them before the blizzard to help be more visible. They ran out of signs before I arrived -- which I told them is a good problem to have.

As usual the group was made up mostly of people in my age and general demographic. We noticed a guy about 30 across the street from us, but everyone else was 50s and older. We, too, would much rather do something else, but Democracy is worth fighting for.

It seems public opinion is shifting. I'll continue to protest until there is no longer a need. Meanwhile, there are PRETTI GOOD reasons to be out there.
