Anti-Trump demonstration on Sat, Jan 27

[Barbara]

Don Juane, I'm sorry you won't be here on Saturday to join us.

There's not much I can do about the people who voted for #45. I did my part and sent in my absentee ballot. This gathering, and the others, are an attempt to show people here that we do not support him or his policies, especially those which adversely affect Mexico.

The first gathering we had was on February 14, 2017 and the theme was AMISTAD SI, MURO NO. The second one was on March 20th to celebrate the first day of spring and Benito Juarez's birthday, with a double theme of some of Juarez's famous quotes about democracy and FLOWERS BLOOM, TRUMP WILL WILT (unfortunately he hasn't wilted yet). We decided to have another one this Saturday because of recent news and events.

I haven't spoken with any Mexicans who like Trump, although I'm sure there are some. But lately, I've heard several anti-Trump comments which include an anti-gring@ jab, and I'd like to stop those kinds of anti-gring@ feelings before they grow stronger. It was very sad to hear a Mexican say two weeks ago "I wish all of you would go back to your f...ing country. Oh not you, you're okay."
