Good, now you know how big the support is it's time to turn it into action. I don't mean violence, but turning up on a summer's day to go for a walk and hear some people speak is not enough.

I'm not going to tell you what to do next (it's not my country) but one day is easily ignored. I know from other fights around the world that these things need persistence and sacrifice.

The thing is, part of the idea of this particular summer day was to distract from the Trump parade.

But then, just one fascist extremist with a gun posing as a cop was able to distract from the efforts of 5 million protestors.

Small steps, friend. Progress is progress.
