“NO KINGS” RALLY, FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS, JUNE 14, 2025 “I am 67 years old and never participated in any protests or rallies! I figured it was time. I was a little apprehensive because I know that this part of the state is very red! I was delighted to see so many people who think like me in this very red little town! The most encouraging thing I heard was when I commented (in the middle of the crowd) that I couldn't believe how many Democrats were here in Fredericksburg. the lady next to me said "We are not all Democrats, we are just fed up with Trump!" I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for inviting me!” https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1HAZcrJE3y/
