At the Justice Center again! Giant crowd. Gonna live-tweet again, let's see what happens tonight!
No cops visible. The lights are off, like a house on Halloween that ran out of candy

Organizer warns us to be vigilant. States that we are not alone here and to watch out for those who are against us "I'm not leading a march tonight. We are staying right here. We aren't leaving tonight"

A movie is now projected on a white screen in front of the justice center: "FENCE WARS"

This is definitely a very different vibe. I feel like I say that every night but it's true every night also. The absence of police means there's no natural focal point, and I don't think I'm imagining the uncertainty of the crowd

The fact that the cops noe seem to grasp that they can cut down on trouble by....not being there...feels like progress in and of itself

The people who made FENCE WARS appear to be two delightful older people. They told me they're still trying to figure out how to upload to YouTube, but that they're planning on it. First boomer-aged people I've encountered at these protests, I love to see it

Hey, I'm boomer-aged and I've been there a bunch of times, occasionally with my partner (he has difficulty walking so isn't there much, but I have been!).

I love that the crowd is large enough that we've missed each other! And I'm glad to hear it

Maybe I can hope that it's not immediately obvious under my mask that I'm in my fifties, too :)
