No Kings - July 4th

Four Friends in Ocala, FL was back on I-75 with a July 4 banner deployment of No Kings in America.

They gathered on I-75 the morning of July 4 at 8:15 a.m. until 11 a.m. As they were set to depart, they were approached by a young man, 25 years old, who had seen the banner and was inspired to join them. He had to drive 15 miles to the next exit and 15 miles back. It was only his second protest action ever. He had been feeling alone and stuck. The bannering brought him a positive outlook and connected him to people who care. The power of connection is real.
