The Sept. 21 standout had almost 30 people participating, including a few children, and a woman who came out of the subway and stopped 
when she saw us to find out more, and a woman who was driving by and stopped when she saw us, wanting to join in. We got a lot of enthusiastic yells and honks from cars, and at one point a sustained chorus of honks from a lot of cars, so loud that all the pedestrians turned to look, and asked us what was happening. I don't think we got any tart "All lives matter!" this time. (Though we were ready with our answer: "Yes, I completely agree with you!") We got seven new members of DPP signed up, some of whom are planning to come to the Oct. 16 DPP meeting. We do need more people to leaflet pedestrians and drivers stopped at lights, so if people can plan to come on Oct. 19 and Nov. 16 and be ready to do some leafletting, that would be great.
