Who is coordinating the Bar Harbor Parks Protest? Why plan it for the same day as the general political protests? Why split protest participation? It dilutes the impact. (Or is that the point? We know some advocates for the park trend politically 'conservative' on local, state, and national issues.)

Numbers count in protests. People shouldn't have to choose between the park specific protest and the general protest.

"Hope in this deep and powerful sense is not the same as joy that things are going well or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously headed for early success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good, not because it stands a chance to succeed."

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture. thomas paine
