Protest As Performance Art?

That's my definition of the type of daily protest I've been doing over the last two years through our National Nightmare while living and trying to breathe with a Kremlin installed POTUS. 

Whether riding my bike with signs.

Wearing protest buttons every day. 

Stepping in for our most vulnerable citizens and calling out bigotry or injustice -- even if you have to fight family members and I have.  (no photo for this one) 


Calling out criminal behavior by sending postcards to the White House.

Standing my ground when men (with privilege) bowl past me while I'm jogging, (as if I'm the one who should move) or when they shout obscenities while I'm riding my bicycle thinking they're the bike path police. And when they speak over you --- speak even louder! I live with three boys and getting a lot of practice with this.


Or Protesting. How many protests have we gone to over the last two years? I've shared photos of those I've attended in previous posts.

This is from the NYC #TaxMarch in February 2017! 

And a myriad of other more personal ways to protest or call out injustice in daily life. And I've never been one to keep my mouth shut. Not in real life.  

Because, ultimately, this is what I believe:

In the haste of writing this post during the day-job hours, I may have forgotten a few ideas. I'll return to add those later. 

What are a few ways you've protested when you've come up against injustice? Because unfortunately, this isn't going to end soon enough. We have to stay vigilant and protect our most vulnerable citizens! Even after Dump45 leaves our White House. 

"If we want peace we have to fight for justice." 

Fill the recesses of hate throughout this country with compassion and unity, with kindness and understanding. ~ those to me, mean love. 

And LOVE Rules. 

Stay Strong kind-hearted friends, this fight for justice isn't over yet. Make your daily living a protest by speaking out, standing up, and protecting each other.

P.S. I'll add -- all the exaggerated cough-hacking I do when caustic exhaust blows into my face. Especially from those commercial vehicles! 

We need much stricter laws for this! 

Considering how important breathing is.

Women's March 2018 in New York City! Here We Are Again.

We began the march by following the pink pussy hats ... 

 I read that over 200,000 marched in NYC, however, my hubby, being a numbers man, estimated that number to be MUCH higher. Millions of PEOPLE screamed shut this regime down around the world!  

The GOP is complicit in Terrorizing the Nation! History will judge. The one good thing to come out of the illegitimate election: LOOK AT ALL OF US COMING TOGETHER. Against Hate, against Discrimination, Bigotry, and Racism, which holds this COUNTRY BACK.  I want to move into the age of enlightenment but ignorance keeps us locked in the upside down.  Keep RISING UP!  and Speaking Out! 

There were so many people I stood in the same position for an hour! 

I LOVE my fellow Americans who are standing up against INJUSTICE and RACISM. 
There is Hope!
