BLM Protests in Southbury

 Southbury, Connecticut

The text of the sign the woman in front is holding reads, "EQUAL RIGHTS FOR OTHERS DOES NOT MEAN LESS RIGHTS FOR YOU. IT'S NOT PIE. BLACK LIVES MATTER.

The fallacy of the zero sum game deserves protest. Lest anyone think there were only five folks here, there were more nearly a hundred, to be seen in more pictures later. It's a large intersection at the center of a 15,000 population bedroom community (formerly farm country) and people were trying to socially distance around the corner a couple hundred feet each way. They told me it's the 13th Sunday in a row that they've gathered for this.
