Politics Happy “No King’s” Day, Phoenix!!

Good morning fellow Arizonans! I’m proud of all my fellow American’s protesting today. Let’s see your signs, pics and videos! Post here to spread the love and inspiration. We are in this together. United We Stand. NO KINGS! 🇺🇸

Remember to keep things peaceful and kind, both on the streets are on this thread.

We had a sizable group in N. Phoenix. There was A LOT of community support - plenty of people doing loops and honking. A lot of thumbs up and peace signs and general support for the protest. The police were there, but they were just chilling and driving by every few minutes. It was an impressive show of solidarity against fascism. 👍🏻

It was so nice to see! Living in North Phoenix in a very red neighborhood, I feel so utterly alone sometimes. It was good to see like minded people in my part of town.

Seriously, we need to have a blue friendly area in north Phoenix. My husband and I love a good dive bar but my god, the amount of trump fanatics is sickening. Can we start a game night or blue pub crawl or something??

Due to health issues, we weren't able to get out to the protests, but seriously if there are other opportunities to get together with like minded people where there is no chance of getting arrested, I'll be there!

There are DOZENS of us.

Jk, we are the majority but since we're not in a cult we're harder to identify. It may FEEL like you're surrounded, but you're not.

Please tell me that was a low-key Arrested Development reference

You are not alone. I think there are quite a few of us up here. Like you, we realize we’re outnumbered, and their side is a little unhinged. I love this forum, it’s how I found out where to go this morning.

It was a bit funny to see your user name, it check out lol! Sometimes living in a red area is a repulsive location! lol. We will keep up the good fight. I will support my fellow blue neighbors as best I can.
