Rally Reports [View all]

I am curious how other people's experiences are/were today? Despite it being cold with frequently hard rain, the one in Oneonta, NY was very well attended. It was by far the biggest in the city, going back to at least the Reagan era. The park was full, and there were people on both sides of the street for to blocks. Hundreds of people beeping their horns as they drove past. Participants from infants to the elderly.

There were also two counter-protesters who left early.
