Glens Falls, New York, is a charming slice of Americana nestled at the foot of the Adirondacks. It's 95 percent white. And yesterday, 2,000 people turned out to protest the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
We love what happened in Glens Falls for a whole bunch of reasons, including the fact that our Trumpy Republican Congresswoman, Elise Stefanik, has a district office there. The protest was also organic — people spontaneously took it upon themselves to organize the march and show up. But the best thing? Attendees were registering to vote.
It looks like Americans have realized we have a ton of work to do to eliminate racism and inequality (not to mention fight the coronavirus pandemic and fix a shattered economy). But the first step is to get Benedict Donald and his fellow fascists out of the White House. And people know it. We cats PURR.
