Thank you for this report. 200 people brave enough to stand on the main drag of Washington, Iowa says much. Applause to all who stood up and spoke out.
I’m from the area. Now living in San Diego where we had around 60k at our No Kings protest. A wonderful day, yet your 200 attendees gave me more hope than our massive turnout! I have been very concerned about Iowa the past number of years. It is definitely not the same state I grew up in. My dear family who still live there have had to fight for democratic values and policies in ways I couldn’t have dreamed of as a child in the 60s. May it be as you say - the start of something better. May more Iowans support politicians and policies that benefit the people of Iowa instead of DJT. We shall see.
I’m so glad to hear this! My daughter led a group of 12 in DeWitt IA!
Great summary including historical perspective. Thank you.
Thanks Jim!
