I've seen crowd estimates for #HandsOff2025 in #PVD from about 5k-20k. Using mapchecking.com, drone footage from IG, and the footprint of the crowd at 1:15pm when I left (people were still streaming into Burnside Park from Steeple St), I think 13,000 is the minimum actual number. 20k is plausible.
Our first #treebybike! Ratchet straps installed for bringing a granny cart to the farmers market worked great for a tree too. Tree sellers, brewery staff & patrons, and passersby were all even more appreciative than the usual experience of just showboating the Urban Arrow around sans tree.
Just got back from the wonderful RI Pub Sing, a twice-a-month community event where participants sing songs with choruses that everyone can join in on, unamplified & acapella. Tonight was the first after the election, so there were some Feelings, but what better way to process than through song? 1/3
