no mandate builds
finding gael & lorie's house is a snap - it is a huge house on a dark street, brightly lit & glowing a welcoming pink as i get a park right across the street. the whole front of the house beckons warmly as hot pink fills the windows and doors. lots of codepink wimmin are already there, working on making posters, banners, and sashes for the women's march & funeral on thursday. we are all excited & determined as we talk about our actions the next few days. i think i'll never be able to fall asleep, between the high energy and the amount of work that needs to be done to stop this regime.
i admire all the fabulous messages painted on banners & the rise/resist sashes, re-connect with familiar comrades and meet new ones. i begin painting a banner for the back of my truck to parade around d.c. tomorrow: "rise, resist, women's march & funeral procession, thursday 9:00 dupont circle". just before i get to the end of 'dupont', nausea and exhaustion overwhelm me. i brave the frigid cold to get my sleeping bag & stuff and then crash. we have an action in the a.m. and then the codepink organizing meeting, and an action in the p.m.
