It is sad that media coverage is so lacking. Last night Greta stated that they were "discouraged" from covering this event and even "not allowed". What does that tell you??? And you may think the crowd is small (a relative statement), but the effort is amazing in that it is a coordinated nationwide statement. It may be small in one place, but to reach cross country is pretty darned impressive. Many Americans are unhappy with the direction they see their country heading in, and their collective voice deserves to be heard, regardless of who does or doesn't agree. That is the American way and should be defended, not criticized.
