Petersburg, Alaska. An island community with three beautiful harbors.
Impressive: Nearly 3% of the people came out Saturday...to defend democracy, support federal workers, and promote community. Thank you, Petersburg!

If you haven't fallen in love w/ Alaska communities after seeing these posts, well, how can't you?
Let's keep Alaskans in our minds!
Their calls are echoed in other small towns...

Carthage, NC, pop 2951, ~200 protestors. 6.8%--HUGE, since it's been "ruby red"
They outlasted the 3-car counterprotest.
The local paper showed it on FB & on their web site. 👏👏

@mountainindivisible.org (love the name!) tells us that ~200 ppl showed up for democracy on Sat. That's 12%, y'all! AND many other people honking & waving means that a lot more of their community supports their movement.
