I am standing along East Sims Way between Sunrise Coffee and Port Townsend Nursery with my “No Medicaid Cuts” cardboard sign. I’m not alone. Several hundred of my neighbors and friends, most grey-haired, line both sides of the thoroughfare waving signs with messages… what motivates us?

Rachel Maddow - thank you!

Makes one proud to be lauded by Rachel Maddow

Wow! What an event! All across the country millions turned out and here in Port Townsend over 1,600 folks stood up and did our part.

Thanks everyone who came out to tell the Trump administration “Hands Off” and many other pungently expressed sentiments. The bagpipes, drums and singing groups added a heartfelt soundtrack. The motorists’ waves and honking buoyed our spirits.

We owe a special thanks to the Port Townsend Police Department for coordinating with the Indivisible Safety and Security team.
