It was raining. It had rained heavily overnight.

This morning at 10:00 a.m. over thirty individuals gathered at the Henry County courthouse square in Clinton, Missouri to celebrate John Lewis (D) and hear a few words about continuing to protest and the right wingnut assault on public education in Missouri.

A week day morning. There were signs. There were passersby.

“If not us, then who? If not now, then when?”

“In America we shouldn’t have to protect Democracy from the President”

“Equality is greater than division”

“No Kings. No idiots, either.”

“12 million will lose healthcare”

“Love, not hate, makes America great”

“Power to the people”

“I identify as a former republican”

The organizers and participants are a persistent bunch. They plan to continue these demonstrations.
