My city is a dead patch in the midst of surrounding strong activity. The people I see in my neighborhood will not even talk about what's going on. It's a bit frightening, actually.
I decided to walk out from my school at 2pm. I told three other people and had three retired friends meet me. However, word of mouth spread and we had OVER 30 teachers and staff walk out. I was shocked. It was incredible.
Our small red Baker County in eastern Oregon, Baker City specifically, had 75+ show up with signs and flags. The usual couple thumbs down 2-3 middle finger up has been consistent with our protests, otherwise peaceful. It was quite chilly especially with wind chill, below 30, the group started dissipating after an hour with maybe 25 hanging a bit longer. I’m always encouraged by the consistency of participation and creative signs.
We work online from California, Arizona, New York and Indiana. We all stopped at 2:00pm. Our normally chattering clients and their emails grind to a halt in acknowledgment that we weren’t going to respond until the next day.
Same. Lancaster County, PA most don’t know or look the other way - Dems Indy’s and Republicans alike. BUT our congressmen is A die-hard boot-licker MAGA-fu… oh you get the point.
Patchogue, LI, NY, showed up! We started at Garbarino's office, signed petitions, and walked a loop; singing, chanting, holding up our signs (most hand painted), and it was good. Wish there were more folks willing to stand up but at the end of the day...we stood up for them!
I look at my phone frequently and I only saw one announcement about this. I’m Self-Employed and work from home so I really can’t do anything unless I just don’t participate in anything like shopping or whatever.
I heard there was a walk out somewhere in Atlanta, but just woke up, so don’t know anything else about it at this point which is around 9 AM est on Jan 21.
I want to be counted because I called each of my congressional delegates and I called to state my descent a group of corporations who are currently supporting ICE. I also was going to bid in an auction for my Alma mater but didn’t since all the items were Nike which is one of those companies supporting ICE. I am boycotting as many as I can. Due to a recent back injury I had to cancel my RSVP for the actual walk out.
I work night shift! I slept through it. No worries…disrupting peacefully as I can! Good job everyone that did walk out; and thank you!!

Thank you for what you’re doing!

So proud of you. You are great role model for your students.

We didn’t march, but I think we made a point.
5 of us walked out of a church meeting with signs and we’re on a low traffic street but one car passed and honked.

Wish I could have been there. What a great way to congregate.
I'm on an isolated farm, so couldn't 'walk out', but took a protest pic to post on your site...can't figure out how though. Help?
Participated by not shopping.
We did see a group and we refused any purchases and TV for the hour
Participated in a demonstration at the state capitol!! Great turnout and support from traffic 💔🤍💙
May it have been successful, please!
