Life of Wry

Once a month, the Disappeared in America visibility brigade (a group of local Indivisibles) shows up on a busy street corner somewhere in Yolo County to raise awareness for those who have been unfairly apprehended by the trump regime and for those who have died in ICE custody.

Today, after an exhausting year working to shine a light on the abuses of the cruel and reckless trump administration, and after yesterday’s AMAZING election that resulted in inspiring, definitive wins all over the country, this brigade of caring citizens did NOT take a day off. Instead, they showed up, in the rain, to hold signs and make sure people don’t forget what’s going on in the United States of America.

They also created an ofrenda in honor of those killed, unjustly detained, separated from their families, sent out of the country to god-knows-where….

My hat’s off to them.

Chris asked if I’d come over (they were at 5th and B, just around the corner) and take pictures. I was reluctant to leave my spot by the fireplace, luxuriating in post-election reports and commentary (all so incredibly, deliciously wonderful). But I said yes, and of course was glad I did. It was an inspiring display of compassionate resisters.

Here’re some shots:
