Thank you for support

Thank you to the people who have supported the efforts of those who are walking in concern for the current activities of the Executive Branch of the United States. Thumbs up, horns honking encourage our spirits. Thanks to the woman buying each walker a cup of coffee, and to another person who brought water, and to yet another who brought blueberry tarts. Each one thanked us for standing up and speaking out against actions that affect so many people in our community and in communities across our country.

We walk to represent all of us, no matter who a person voted for, because these executive actions are hurting all of us. We walk for those who are unable to join us. We represent many more voices than the few seen on Midway Avenue.

The ripple effect of affected services in weather prediction, medical research, closed hospitals, civil service, park and forest services, the Post Office, and Social Security will be seen soon. So, until we are no longer free to speak up, we will continue. We appreciate the gestures of thanks, and hope you will be able to join with your own voice when you can.

Thank you,

Sheri Edwards
