Good morning

I found this comment from today’s Robert Hubbell post worth sharing. It is from a recent Russian immigrant who saw a group protesting on an overpass.

“Dear Overpass Brigade Leader

“Thank you for the opportunity to witness people who find joy in dedicating a few hours of their lives to secure years of future tranquility for their entire country. And the harder it is for many of them to stand there for those hours—the greater the hostility they face from a few thoughtless drivers—the more valuable this sacrifice becomes to society: both for their descendants, for whom they clear a path to future success, and for their own glorious ancestors, who so often defended democracy in the past; and it touches and heals me, too—a chance bystander—for, sadly, in my own country, there were simply not enough people of such civic conscience to be found.”

This is all of you who attend protests, whether weekly or periodically, write and call members of Congress, and do all the small acts of resistance that will restore our democracy.
