10. I've been to protests at Waterfront Park and the Civic Center.

I prefer Waterfront Park since it has a little more room to move. Also, I discovered a slightly elevated spot at Waterfront Park where you can stand and look down at all the protesters who were not done the march yet. I like to be in the very front and I move very swiftly. When the local groups burn sage for good luck I love the smell. The protesters at the front usually have the sage.

On June 14th when I saw the sea of people merge I started to cry a little bit, it was a very passionate display of resistance.

I have a purse just for my protests with all my supplies ready to go. The maps I always bring help me a lot since so many streets go "one way" for only a block or two and I get confused. I'm a pedestrian by nature. After one protest it took me 45 minutes to find where I parked my car due to the "one way" stuff. Now I make a little map of exactly where I park my car.
