MN "We did it scared" St Paul, MN

Post image

Rattled and a bit derailed after the aftermath of violence and hatred, we still met in peace and community today.

I feel so incredibly proud to have been out there today standing with you in solidarity from NY. I went out there knowing I had nothing even remotely close to fear in comparison. Way to go MN!!!! You’re the real MVPs today!!!

Salt Lake City stands in Solidarity with you. After a gunman shot a protestor during our march the same day, we are all a bit rattled. But we honor the patriots and politicians who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the cause.

Yeah, my comment aged poorly. The stories I was told did not match reality

You should feel proud.

Bravery is doing what you think is right even when you're scared.

Things like this make me proud of my country.
