One Person, One Hour, One Issue
We are looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday! Our numbers are increasing, and we have some new signs to display. We feel they meet the current moment. Or any other moment, for that matter.

Folks have raised some concerns about the reaction these days of higher levels of the federal government to grassroots protests, but have no worries! We have assurance from Press Secretary K-K-Karoline Leavitt that we are on solid ground (link to video):

Below is 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.
Got questions? Let us know! CitizensResistingTyranny@gmail.com.
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 (with music and dancing!), 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.


Hi Maureen! I loved your substack. I’m not worried about the signs at all. Last Friday we had all kinds of signs and lots of honks and waves coming our way. The main thing is to stay peaceful as you said.

Hi Elise, thanks! I’m glad things were lively on Friday. We may have a little “weather” this afternoon but we’ll be there. 🙂 Maureen
