Democracy Spring Protest the DNC, July 25th, 2016
Greetings, friends!
My dear friend John Laurits and I arrived in Philadelphia two days ago, and have set up camp in FDR park for the duration of the DNC. Yesterday, we joined 10,000 protesters in a march from City Hall to FDR park, and I did my best to document the event while participating. Here is the first of many galleries that I will publish this week. Hope you enjoy, and check in again to see updates!
Hello dear friends! Yesterday we said goodbye to the Pacific coast, and we are on our way to the Atlantic coast! I’ll be updating this gallery as frequently as I can while we are on the road. Enjoy, and #SeeYouInPhilly!
Philly, here we come! We are incredibly grateful for the donations we’ve received for this journey. Thank you all for your kindness and support. The People’s Math Front is going to Philly!
I made a couple of movie-themed memes today, just for fun. Feel free to use them if you want to!
“Difficult times often bring out the best in people.”
“What my campaign is about is a political revolution – millions of people standing up and saying, enough is enough. Our government belongs to all of us, and not just the hand full of billionaires.”
“A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little.”
“The problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.”
“The struggle to create a nation and world of economic and social justice and environmental sanity is not an easy one. The struggle to try and create a more peaceful world will be extremely difficult. But this I know: despair is not an option if we care about our kids and grandchildren. Giving up is not an option if we want to prevent irreparable harm to our planet.”
“I am going to do my best to try to create a country in which children are not living in poverty, in which kids can go to college, in which old people have health care. Will I succeed? I can’t guarantee you that, but I can tell you that from a human point of view it is better to show up than to give up.”
“The point is change can come about, but it only comes about when millions of people are actively involved in political struggle, the billionaires may have the money, but we have the people.”
