    There was one minutes away from my home in suburban Aurora, CO. For being such an off-central location, turnout was excellent and there was so much support from those driving by! I realized how great those protests outside of downtown are; super convenient (easy to attend and get others to join) and seeing things like that happen in unexpected places, especially the more residential areas, has a little more meaning when you drive by.

      My mom lives in a a gated “active adult” community. A small group got out in front of the neighborhood early in the morning, protested for about an hour, then went to Denny’s.

      The last No Kings protest had a bit of a controversy. Everyone in the neighborhood tools around in golf carts, and a MAGA resident rode hers down to the protest, and ended up deliberately hitting another old lady with her cart, and taking off.

      Nobody knew who she was, and by the time they found her, she had moved away.
