Eight million of you showed up today.
People filled 3,300 events across all 50 states and around the world, with 200,000 in Minneapolis, where Bruce Springsteen performed “Streets of Minneapolis” about the two Americans ICE killed there in January. People marched because gas is up a dollar a gallon in one month, grocery prices keep climbing, and financial markets are reeling from a war nobody voted for.
No one expects any single day of protest will create change. That’s why today needs to be the continuation, not the finale. The war the United States started a month ago has already spread across eight countries. Today, 2,500 Marines arrived in the region. Reporting from multiple outlets says American ground forces will invade Iran. The midterms are important, but that’s too long to wait for change.
