Protest Attended: New Haven, CT and Saybrook,CT (June 5, 2020)
"The energy at the New Haven protest was raw and emotional, while the sense of desperation for change was palpable. People handed out “fuck trump” fabric cloths to pin to our clothes. I saw others handing out voter registration forms. I saw elementary aged children with signs asking, “at what age do I go from being cute to being a threat?” As someone who works with children, specifically Children of Color, their heartache particularly inspired me to keep my foot on the gas as an ally."
