DAY SIX

It was a cold and blustery, early spring day, but a beautiful afternoon none-the-less.

I decided to head out and do my RESIST! thing and try to catch the high school crowd as they were getting out for the day.

When I was in high school, the Vietnam War was happening, as was the draft. The hippie movement was also in full swing, and so at least the idea of protesting was very much in the news, and in the minds of most.

Kids today, maybe not so much.

I think I was more of a novelty act out there.

I got there a little late. The crossing guard told me I had missed the larger crowd, but I got a good sampling.

X number were curious and asked questions, took a card.

I’ll be back.

Though my plan is to invest all 100 DAYS in these same two locations, I want to vary the day of the week, as well as the time of day.

I want to become something of a regular fixture out there.

Plant seeds.

Normalize protest.

I’m really enjoying the experience.
