Many of our coalition members said most people they spoke to were attending their very first protest. Was it your first protest today? Protests across the country remained peaceful and powerful.

My 75 y.o. mom attended her first protest today. She's recovering from two hip replacements, so she brought her sitting walker and rocked her sign like the absolute boss that she is!

been there, done that, like, 50+ years ago. it was a different war. today, though, in a small town in long island, ny? the singing, dancing, and solidarity in the rain, was cathartic. alleviated much of my (existential and generational) trauma.

My first protest was earlier this year. What I did for the first time today was volunteer, and I am enormously pleased with myself to have identified and defused a false-flag agitator on my first day. It's not like he was super good at it. I got lucky. But damn it feels good.

The woman who was directly beside me said it was her first protest. She then quietly admitted to having been a Republican up until this point. She said too that she couldn't find a friend who was meant to meet her there so she hung around with my father, two mutual friends of ours and myself.

I hope that I helped make it a positive experience for her. Our oldest protestor is a kind gentleman, a veteran, of the young age of NINETY-FIVE. He's amazing, he's made every protest (taking a small respite), though he can only stand a few minutes at a time.

My first protest was in April. This was my second. Next one I hope will be the day we take our country back and take out the trash! General Strike only needs 3.5% of the population and it sounds like we’ve exceeded that amount this time. Let’s do it and save ourselves from this fascist regime!

2010 was my first straight protest with the passing of Citizens United. At that time no one paid attention. It changed our future. Now we have Billionaires buying elections.

No, it wasn’t. Although I had never done anything remotely active, by the end of January 2017, I had attended the local Women’s March, a rally, and a protest. The level of solidarity and outrage was incredible at our event in Las Vegas.

Not our 1st, we started with the Women’s March & never stopped- 1 of the ladies I invited to join us came, the first 5 mins she was in tears. She loved it and stayed until we left. I was so happy for her. She said, “it gave her relief from all the anxiety she was feeling.” She is not alone.

My first at 50. I saw a lot of 16 year olds and younger. The majority were 50 and up, but a lot of 30's as well. We were individuals across all races in a very small town all joined against this fascist dictatorship. It was freaking awesome. A few crazy guys tried to intimidate us with their bikes
