    Yesterday someone on the West Seattle Connection Facebook page was trying to organize another rally in the junction, but they got silenced (as sadly seems to be the way over there these days). Have y’all heard anything about any planning for such an event? I think there are a lot of us that would love to show up!

Sorry, comment time is over.
