She found the quote by Anne with a (I think it's AI generated) picture of a child being pulled from his home/family. Downloaded it and had it blown up to 24x36. I helped her mount it on foam board and attach to a stick. We took turns holding it at our local (Lakewood CA) protest yesterday. It had many complements and photos taken. There's one on FB, but I don't know how to get it posted here. I tried using the link thing but no luck. But it was pretty appropriate I think.
