The crowd stretched for six blocks. I haven't seen a crowd estimate - I'd guess a couple thousand anyway.
Herself and I are in there somewhere.

The kids will be getting out of school real soon. Summer not winter is coming and it is a midterm election.
They have a great opportunity to pull it off this year. The PTSD from the active shooter drills in the schools will harden the kids in high school to get things done to where their younger brothers and sisters can have a real childhood.
The kids are very savvy and smart.

Seriously, next march in Little Rock, post on DU and we'll figure a way to get you downtown. I'll push you up Capitol Avenue in a wheelchair.
