    The Voices of AudacityCAT - Protest from Oregon to Maine

    In Episode Four, a chance Facebook exchange leads to an amazing cross-country conversation with a reporter from small-town Oregon, where each Saturday 50 people in a town of 250 gather to protest for democracy, inclusivity, and justice. Sound familiar? Hear how they sustain their passion and enthusiasms, respond non-violently to counter-protesting truckers who ‘roll coal’ to smoke them out (and - in one comedic instance - drop their clutch), and how our Justice Roberts-motivated Kayak-tivism in Port Clyde Harbor inspired them to launch their own water-bound protests with a fleet of kayaks and dragon boats. Come hear: We are NOT alone! This Episode is AUDIO ONLY. The Voices: Lyn Donovan and Laura Swanson, Tillamook County Pioneer Tune in to The Voices of AudacityCAT wherever you get your podcasts.
