Weekly Gathering for Inclusion – every Saturday,

From the CarrollCAN website:
This is a peaceful gathering to spread the love! Make a sign to celebrate inclusion! (this is not a rally or protest, no chants, just signs) Meet in front of the Westminster Branch Library, by the Lion from 1 to 2pm every Saturday.
Please keep your signs Welcoming, Positive and FOR something (not against something, this is a message of inclusion and welcome for all)
