One Person, One Hour, One Issue
Summer is over, and with the cooler weather (pray that it lasts) we are moving back to Tuesday afternoons starting at 4:00 p.m., so let’s get down to serious!
For this week’s motivation, consider that Orange Jesus obviously learned of our No Tyranny protest, and deliberately thumbed his nose at us personally with this howler at a recent press conference:
Not that I don’t have … the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.
If that doesn’t get you up to grab a sign and come down to the corner, I don’t know what will.
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 shopping center parking lots but please spread out so we don’t take all the spaces nearest these businesses. They have been very tolerant of our presence; let’s keep it that way.
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.

Also, consider dropping in to the Brier Creek Corner from 4 pm to 6 pm for Freedom Fridays, organized by Engaged Durhamites for Democracy. It looks and sounds like a frat party, but in a good way! If you want to get more information on Freedom Fridays, you can sign up for the Engaged Durhamites for Democracy Substack here.
