I'm going to the Hands Off! NE Lake County, Il protest against the Trump omnishambles. If any Lake County MeFites would like to join me I'd be sure glad to see you! The location is at Grand & Hunt Club Road in Gurnee. Registration isn't necessary, but you can register and find info about it here: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoff/event/767719/
General info about nationwide protests here: https://handsoff2025.com/
I'm thinking about signs. I might like to do a pro-environment message, since I feel like that doesn't get enough attention. I'd love to see you!

I'll be there along with Mr. DrGail. We'll be bringing at least one sign, but haven't decided on the message yet.

There's a new protest sign post on the blue.
As I wrote there-I got my sign idea yesterday:
It's not right vs. left. IT'S RIGHT VS. WRONG.

So I think am more likely to come now and finally meet a Mefite or three.
I have (partly) purple hair, maybe I'll wear a Metafilter sticker.

Just noting my Cory Booker quote originally (or at least also) came from Reagan, so back to the drawing board for me.

Just a quick note / update. The rally location is the Southwest corner of Grand and Hunt Club Road. The address I specified in the post was only approximate when I knew the intersection but not the specific location.

Good news is there’s plenty of parking by all the big box stores lining the street. I’ll probably be there w my “ You’re not wrong, none of this is normal” sign before I head to North Chicago for the rally by the VA

Also, I don’t get out much these days (besides work). I said maybe to the Chicago Goat meetup for over a year but did not go.
This is down the street though. So maybe. :)
Do you plan to bring a sign?
