Easter is a time of rebirth. This year it is about more than the resurrection of Jesus or the transition from winter to spring. This Easter is about planting the seeds of resistance to harvest the freedom of democracy. I pray for a bumper crop.

What a great idea! From a song recorded by Perry Como in 1952:

If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free

The wonderful dawn of a new day we'll see!

And if everyone lit just one little candle

What a bright world this would be! ⚔️

It's such a simple thing. When I come home after dark, it's nice to have that flickering (that's a setting on my little candle) light to greet me. And now? I like my little candle even more.

I really had no idea why I purchased a lovely burns-6-hours-battery-operated 3-pack. (Other than it was half-price after the holidays! Haha)

Now, I understand that God-nudge!

I'll bring one to Mom as an Easter gift and share one with my protest-buddy across the street!

These three will burn till the lot of them are GONE!

Thank you!

This is an excellent idea. Mine will shine tonight and for as many nights it's needed.

Perry Como was my mom’s favorite crooner so it immediately came to my mind when lighting a candle was mentioned. Amazing the things we remember!

I was disappointed in the protest this weekend

It should have been 3 days

If it’s going to be one day , do it during the week

I think a one day protest during a holiday weekend is not going to make much of a difference

Yes. I am a Signal Cabdle "Evangelist". I bring LED Candles to every Rally, Protedt, and Day of Action. Give them to everyone. We need to assure our allies that they are not alone. The candles are a beautiful way to do that.

This is amazing because the Magic Resistance (formerly Bind Trump) group on Facebook started a white candle conspiracy spell, where witches light a white candle to be a light in the darkness and usher in hope
