I walked to coffee. A jacket, an orange t shirt and denim pants. It was Friday. Friday was a day of solidarity for those who want to make a change for human rights. Orange to show we wanted rights to those our county has reported, imprisoned and tortured. The purpose is to bring awareness to those of us who don't know or don't believe this is happening (This could be done by those we elected.) Knowledge is freedom. Knowledge is power and knowledge empowers choice. Road crew orange was the color worn to show all of us need truth, knowledge and to make informed choices then convey them to our representatives. No politician wore orange on Friday and shame lay on the land like a low smelly fog.

Second, the need to be aware of human rights is very much needed. I just learned today that US citizens are being held in ICE detention centers in US for deportation. These are US born citizens. Their citizenship is being taken away and they are being returned to the counties their parents came from.
Third, if we will not stand up for others, there will be no one stand up for us when they come for us!
