not a sunflower
seeds can’t root and blossom

I participated. It was awesome. About two thousand happy souls participated in Roseville, CA, historically red, but turning purple. Here are some of my favorite signs. Indivisble held an organizing meeting here and 500 people showed up.

I participated in Roseville, CA, historically red, but not for long. About 2 000 happy souls turned out to fight for freedom. Here are a few of my favorite signs. Lots of networking and organizing.

Leave nothing but the pit.
Time nips our heels
