Dexter, Michigan, Protest at 1:00 PM
 |
| The protest rally was held in Monument Park in downtown Dexter, around 10 miles west of Ann Arbor. Dexter has a population of 4,500. We estimated that around 200 people were in the park. |

| Although the park across the street was crowded, the streets were almost empty. |

Dexter celebrated its 200th anniversary last year. This is the downtown in 1908 in a mural on the wall of the bakery.
Quite a few buildings are unchanged. |
Ann Arbor, Michigan, Protest at 4 PM
 |
Each of the four corners of the streets at the protest site were crowded with people carrying signs.
Our guess is that there were around 500-600 people present |
 |
The rally was scheduled at an intersection of two major streets at the edge of town.
This seemed mysterious until we realized that downtown and the campus area were overwhelmed by the annual Hash Bash today. |

Thanks for showing up today. The kids with signs are great!
big YES to getting up! The world (...) is waiting for this.
Well done! Lansing's was good, too! And a wonderful mural on top of it!
I went to a local day of protest yesterday too. It's great seeing so many people out speaking against the **it-show in Washington. Thanks for sharing these Mae. I'm going to share mine later this week. hugs-Erika
It is great to see photos of the crowds of people peacefully protesting. Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week!
It felt so good to march/protest with others. I think about 4,000 attended in Santa Barbara.
Well done!
YAY!!!!! My little town showed up too.
Heartening to see the protests without being restrained by the authorities. True democracy.
Good to see!
And the bakery mural is awesome
Although I was unable to go (too cold for me), I watched the protest on the news. I was SO proud of those who braved the freezing weather to attend.
Good on the population to protest. Orange Man and his crazy buddy have turned the world upside down in such a short time!! I like the Bakery mural. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae.
Thanks for showing this, Mae! A good sign
Love the mural - those ones are so cute. As for the protest, the whole world is worried for you all. It's so sad to watch a once strong democracy flounder. Look after each other. As an aside, I wonder if the anti DEI people know that includes wheel chair ramps??? #MuralMondays
There are some great signs to see, I especially like the kids' ones. It's their future after all. I'm glad that so many people turned up to protest. We need to keep doing this.
Have a good week ahead, Mae.
Great murals, and a fine turnout.
