Fairly large protest at our local courthouse today

It is a group with mostly immigation signs. Mostly Hispanic. Alot of children. They looked like everyones neighbor, friend, and kids in our cafeterias. They are reminding the folks in this very red area of their humanity.

Drivers were constantly honking in solidary and i cried tears of hope. In red ass Arkansas. The crowd has grown. Ive got pictures and will try to share them when I get home.
