After a busy day on another gorgeous day in February, around 5pm, I just want to leave and go home, but I know I have committed to my afternoons of activism, and if I missed everything on Wednesday, then I have to at least swing by on Thursday. So, I go, I hold the sign for about five minutes. I felt that I made a difference. I spoke to one person who rolled down the car window to ask what it is about. I explained that POP has been holding a daily demonstration for jobs. It still feels awkward standing there holding a sign trying to get the drivers driving by to honk, the hand and arm movement for "toot your horn" feeling strangely similar to the raise of the black power fist.
