The file is misnamed "seattle-protest" ; this is an image of the Portland St. John's Bridge protest, 29 July, 2015"Knocked to my knees in awe and wonder of the audacity of this action, I led a small group meditation at the foot of the bridge this afternoon, focused on the wish and intention, 'May all beings be safe.'" - Portland BPFer Kathryn Kendall from today's #ShellNo bridge protest.
No arrests have been made, so it looks like the protestors are settling in for the week. Will you dedicate the merits of your practice to support these brave activists, wishing not only for their safety, but for the safety of all from climate catastrophe?
