Very small protest
For #EarthDay I decided that I should go to a protest. I figured #ExtinctionRebellion would be doing something so I checked their website, and they had a thing listed, conveniently at noon (the train gets me there at 11:45).
It turned out to be a very small event with only about 50 people. They had a sort of silly skit and some speakers about how private jets were killing the environment (they are), and then we had a little die-in, for only 5 minutes. The whole thing was over in about an hour, so I just took an earlier train home. There seemed to be more people taking videos and stuff and than there were attendees. I guess they just didn't really advertise it very well.
I hadn't known whether it was going to be a real protest or not, so I brought a #HandsOff sign that was relevant to the environment. When I got there, nobody else had signs, but I was randomly chatting with the other attendees and they encouraged me to get it out. A few more people with signs did show up later.
Their next thing is on Saturday, marching to the state house. Maybe there will be more people there.
