Took my drone out again today to document the turnout in my blue heaven. About 3,000 local citizens showed up in this city of 10,000 to express their love for our constitution and our country. So proud of you Port Townsend WA!

Uplifting AF at a time it was needed. Port Townsend WA stands up! Drone footage I shot at today's event. As I posted earlier over a 2k turnout, 20% of our city's population to #protest not just peacefully, but joyfully. Thanks to #indivisible for organizing.

So heartening to have this kind of turnout in our town, especially on Easter weekend. I shot footage on the ground and in the air. About 1200 participants at its peak. Lots of waves and support from the traffic driving by. I'm very lucky to live in WA. Something I appreciate more every day.

Took my drone out to document today's Hand's Off protest in my wonderfully blue home town. Over 1600 real patriots came out in our community of 10k. So proud of the PNW and PT. Music by Scott Holmes (Creative Commons)
