Thanks for the Q's today, kobber! Have a great day y'all!
Good morning everyone and welcome to QOTD for the first day of May! I’m still messing about with plans for the garage conversion but have found a guy who has produced a much more detailed set of plans – they make me cross-eyed, but I’m sure the council will love them!
Today’s Question:
In many countries May Day is traditionally a day for protest marches. Have you ever been part of a protest march? If so, what you were protesting?
I've done several of these, All of the one's I took part in were in Washington, DC. I'm guessing I took part in between 15-20. In order:
(edit to add and avoid confusion that I am a staunch supporter of the folowing)
Various Church - State separation violations/issues (One of these and a coincidence, we were side by side with NOW. That was a memorable and worthwhile event. I'm also a supporter of equal rights for women)
Decriminalizing and medical marijuana access (many years ago. So glad progress has been made)
Gay marriage rights (I'm straight; progress in this area as well)
