The evangelical Christian community (which is the big source of possible allies) might like to stand with you, too, but scheduling a gathering right during the time when many of their church services are happening isn't helpful. I'm going to have to run out of my own service to get to your rally but I'll do my best to attend but next time, maybe try 1 or 2 pm? Just a thought.

This is true, and I know several Christian supporters who are doing so much to help. It's going to take some work to build more trust, though.

It is great that someone is collaborating with Hindu and Persian communities. Chinese communities should be our allies because 20 million Chinese people were killed by the Japanese in World War II. Note that it is illegal in some cities, such as Redmond, to simply put up posters just anywhere. There are detailed ordinances. Some light poles are controlled by the city, some by the county. Also, there are people who vandalize and scrape the posters, and then it gets worse. Posters are fine if they are put up in a legal place and if the people who put them up are willing to maintain them. Social Media, such as Facebook Stories, gives you more control over what happens when you put a poster. Sign holding works if people are in a legal space. It is more productive for people to call the White House comment line and to call and write to Members of Congress, especially the Congressional delegation in our state, and to talk to local political leaders.
