What an inspiring and connecting day for New York’s upstate community’s.
GLENS FALLS — Women, men, children and dogs packed both sides of Warren Street at noon Saturday as they made their way toward Centennial Circle amid honking horns, cheering and chants of “girls are strong”.
men, women and babies wearing the now-famous knit pink “pussyhats” — created after President Trump was seen and heard on video talking about how he can just grab a woman by her genitals — and hundreds of hand-crafted and professionally made signs. “
“Trump, Stefanik we’re watching you.”
“If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention.”
“You can’t combover racism.”
“My father didn’t escape the Nazis for this.”
“Our rights are not up for grabs and neither are we.”
“Love conquers hate.”
By the time the marchers made it to Centennial Circle, with all corners of the circle packed with demonstrators, some estimated the growing crowd to be near 1,500. (1)
There was Amazing Camaraderie of kindness and compassion with an unexpected super large turn out. Songs were sung and chants were in cadence to the walk. ALL very positive towards rights, health care, food, human of any- preference- color- sex- idea, war! Everyone was supper kind to each other, even though at times there was no space to walk or move; they still excused the bump and smiled.
One thing that felt odd and did catch my attention the pro God group across the street stayed very distant and prayed in big voice, the line in the road was definitely a divide for them. After noticing I listen to a group of church goers from different denominations and walks of life joining together in the agreement of All HUMAN RIGHTS it was a beautiful moment to be privy to. WWGD?
Congratulations UPSTATE its a proud day for HUMAN BEINGS AND PEACE!
