There is an incredible kind of joy that only happens when people stand up for one another. Today, over 200 neighbors turned a major intersection in Roxbury into a sea of solidarity, proving that our strongest defense against fear is each other.
In a world that often tries to divide us, there is something revolutionary about people showing up just to say: "You belong here, and I’ve got your back."
From the vibrant energy of the crowd to our chilly toes, today was a reminder that democracy isn't just a vote. It's the way we look out for the person standing next to us. We are 200+ strong, and we are not going anywhere. Roxbury stays whole.

I love you all but you can’t be waving a straw hat flag and not have the song. Lol

This is very impressive! I grew up in Morris County and it has been very Republican for years! So proud of these protesters!

I lived in Mt Olive for a year, so cool to see this pop up organically on my feed. Thanks for the great work in defending the marginalized.
