@Strandjunker 📣 #GoodTrouble This isn't just about today—it’s about the future.

🎯Let’s act now—for a future free from fear, injustice, and oppression, for all generations.
An inspiring piece from Indo-Fijian and queer artist, Shyama Kuver. The quote from Mariame should be our collective guiding light as we face the horrors around us.

A follow-up to my post about the Rochester NY "Good Trouble" rally on Thursday evening -
Today's Rochester Democrat & Chronicle had an article about the event, and also a good photo gallery with a few dozen photos of the rally and the march, much better pictures than the few I had taken. Here's the link to the article -

In Rochester, NY, a good-sized crowd marched through downtown this evening as part of the John Lewis Day "Good Trouble" rallies. We met at Parcel 5, where some speakers launched the event. Then we marched via Main Street and State Street to the big John Lewis mural near the Sister Cities garage, where we paused to listen to more speakers. Then we continued via Exchange Street, Broad Street, and South Avenue, back to Parcel 5. I couldn't get a good idea of the size of the crowd, because I am short, and there were a lot of tall people around me. But at one point, when the march made a turn onto another street, I could look from the corner in both directions, and saw that the line of marchers stretched for several blocks both ways.
Celebrate John Lewis, fearless civil rights icon! His bold #GoodTrouble—fighting injustice, leading marches, enduring beatings for equality—ignites our fight for freedom.
His legacy of courage, sacrifice, and vision inspires us to persevere with resolve.
"John Robert Lewis ... was the walking, breathing blueprint for how to love a country that doesn’t always love you back, and still demand it do better."
