Here’s an interesting logistical change from last year; today’s main event, which will be held after the march at Seattle Center, is focused on connecting attendees on a per-neighborhood basis to each other.
I think this is a great idea, at least in theory, which seems pointed at the usual “protesting is performative” cynicism.
I’m on my way ahead now to see how that’s going to work.

There have also been some program changes that I didn’t expect. With the exception of AG Nick Brown, who helped open ceremonies at Cal Anderson, I’m told there are no elected official speakers. According to the Indivisible media folks, this was a “deliberate choice”, although they didn’t elaborate on the criteria. If I had to wildly speculate (which I don’t, but I will) I imagine that last years invitees suddenly pivoting into campaign speeches probably influenced this. So, a welcome change.
