I don’t have a thousand dollars to fly to DC, nor a week’s vacation to drive there and back. It isn’t the same. Hungarians can make a day trip to Budapest from almost anywhere in the country.

So how far are you willing to travel and how far have you traveled for a march? Phoenix?? L.A.?? Austin? Tell me how much out of your comfort zone is it worth? I traveled 6hrs with an overnight stay for the March-for-our-lives. I've sinced moved closer to DC. (Just happenstance)

It’s less about my comfort and more about my continued survival. If I take a week off with no vacation time, I will get evicted. I do not have anyone else I can rely on to pay my bills. I have protested here in Tucson, where I live, and where it is financially feasible for me to do so.

My previous reply did not suggest you take off a week, it asked what you're willing to do. You've answered that, Toucan or nothing.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, if I’m honest.

Have you ever been to a sporting event? 60,000 people all shouting as one is a lot louder than 60,000 people spread out over miles all shouting. Right? My point is, even if you can't get to DC, there are ways to unify the 100s of small local protests into 1 or 5 or 10 to show unity.

Yeah I have attended the major protests we’ve had in Tucson. Listen I love that you’ve had the privilege to attend even more major ones, and I’m jealous. Would love to have had the opportunity to join larger ones in larger cities. I haven’t had the opportunity. Have a good life.
