Sound familiar? Hear how they sustain their passion and enthusiasms, respond non-violently to counter-protesting truckers who ‘roll coal’ to smoke them out (and - in one comedic instance - drop their clutch), and how our Justice Roberts-motivated Kayak-tivism in Port Clyde Harbor inspired them to launch their own water-bound protests with a fleet of kayaks and dragon boats. Come hear: We are NOT alone! This Episode is AUDIO ONLY.
