3,000 Americans…and Absolutely No Kings.
Historic day in the Pepper Pike and beyond
Last week, while Donald Trump threw himself a sparsely attended birthday parade in our nation’s capital, the rest of us were attending thousands of protests across the country—including 3,000 of you who attended the Chagrin Gateway No Kings event in Pepper Pike. The event, co-hosted with our friends with the Solon Democrats, Beachwood Democrats and Lyndhurst Democrats, was not looking promising at daybreak. Heavy rain and an ominous forecast had us wondering if we’d have anywhere close to the 900 people who RSVP’d. Then, 3X that number showed up and not only lined Lander Circle (in some parts three deep), but proceeded to stretch almost a half mile down Chagrin Blvd.
