All day yesterday, Westporters attended “March For Our Lives” rallies. They traveled to New York, Washington, Hartford and Shelton.
Former Westporters marched in places like Roxbury, Los Angeles, Delray Beach, Florida — and West Palm Beach, getting as close as they could to Mar-a-Lago.
Westporters temporarily finding themselves in places like Patagonia, Chile also marched.
And when it was all over — as dusk was falling — Westporters marched here too.
Over 1,000 friends and neighbors rallied on the Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Bridge, and on Main Street. Their message was loud and clear: This American scourge must end.

Rob Feakins was in Washington yesterday. He compiled this short video. It’s a fitting coda to a passionate day.
