One Person, One Hour, One Issue
It looks like the weather gods favor us tomorrow morning, with 72 degrees and partly cloudy predicted – perfect weather to start your morning on the corner, standing up for democracy and against tyranny! Scroll down for further event details.
If you need some motivation to get up and going a little early, consider the photo below of POTUS 47 welcoming pariah dictator Vladimir Putin to Alaska. They both look so happy!
And what did the POTUS and the U.S. gain from this summit? Less than nothing. Putin wins again, gaining concessions on the Ukraine, and America’s international reputation slides further into the burning dumpster.
But Putin aside, let’s not forget what good friends POTUS 47 and Jeffrey Epstein were!
Also, consider dropping in to the Brier Creek Corner from 4 pm to 6 pm for Freedom Fridays, organized by Engaged Durhamites for Democracy. This event is getting more lively every week! If you like big trucks, you can come just to listen to all the REALLY LOUD beeps and honks we get from semis, dump trucks, and other construction vehicles. 🙂 If you want to get more information on Freedom Fridays, you can sign up for the Engaged Durhamites for Democracy Substack here.
Here’s the usual boilerplate protest information:
LOCATION: Public right of way, NE corner Glenwood & Brier Creek Pkwy (near Starbucks, Red Robin, in Walmart shopping center). .We’ll be on the elevated grassy area along Glenwood, away from the traffic, and along the sidewalk on Brier Creek Parkway.
PARKING: Park in the adjacent Starbucks / Red Robin parking lots or at Walmart – please spread out so we don’t take all the spaces nearest these businesses.
SIGNS: The grassy knoll area along Glenwood is elevated and safely away from traffic, giving us great visibility along and across the intersection. Don’t have a sign? We have a bunch to share!
BE KIND: This is a peaceful, non-violent demonstration, of course. That extends to avoiding any negative interactions with passers-by. Any rude gestures or angry words should be met with a smile and a wave – and never returned in kind.
