🕊️ A Call from One Grandparent to Another: Stand for the America Our Grandchildren Deserve 🇺🇸
To my beloved fellow grandparents,
Today, across this great nation, generations are gathering—shoulder to shoulder in “No King” marches—to raise their voices for freedom, justice, and democracy. They are doing what so many before them have done: standing in peaceful protest to ensure that no president, no party, no regime becomes a monarch over our people.
Let us stand with them. Let us remind our children and grandchildren that this is how America has always found its way forward—through the people.
📚 From Selma to Standing Rock, from the March on Washington to the Women’s March—peaceful protest is our American tradition. It is our shield and our sword against injustice:
The 1963 March on Washington brought over 250,000 people together and helped pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches led to the Voting Rights Act.
The 2018 March for Our Lives, led by high schoolers, reignited national gun safety conversations.
The 2020 George Floyd protests sparked global movements for police accountability.
Each of these marches made our communities stronger. Not weaker. Not more divided—but more awakened.
🕯️ Today’s protests are especially sacred. They honor the lives of Rep. Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman, good public servants who were gunned down in their homes this morning, reportedly for doing their jobs with honor and courage. They stood up for us—now we must stand for the right to speak up, without fear.
Let us be absolutely clear:
🔹 The First Amendment is non-negotiable.
🔹 Violence meant to silence speech is terrorism, not patriotism.
🔹 We do not cower—we march louder. We speak braver.
🔹 We must teach our families this lesson by living it.
📣 To every grandparent reading this:
Join a protest if you can.
Support one online if you cannot.
Talk to your family, your neighbors, your church groups.
Let them know: free speech lives as long as we defend it.
We are the roots of this family tree. Let’s be strong ones. 🌳
For our kids. For our country. For the Constitution.
How about an anti genocide agenda also Ro
