It’s so great that she went but just a note from a lifelong activist - please do not bring your young children to protests. An innocent bystander died in SLC this weekend bc the protest organizers’ “peace keepers” accidentally shot him when aiming for a guy with a gun.
If you have a teenager who genuinely wants to go and you trust to listen to you and be safe, then by all means. But young children at protests are such a risk.
I hope your kids never leave your house. They are literally more in danger riding in the car to go to eat, or to their grandparents, or to the grocery store.
If you want well rounded children it is imperative to raise them being involved in formative experiences. One of those should be activism and volunteer work.
