DESCRIPTION:**Join us for our Wednesday morning rally on 7th Ave & Glenros
 a in midtown Phoenix!**\n\n*Rush-hour Resistance Rallies happen every Mond
 ay–Friday during rush hour across the Phoenix metro area. Check out [RhR
 R.us](https://rhrr.us) for the latest locations!*\n\nHere are the particul
 ars for this rally:\n\n🕥 The rally starts at 7:30. You are free to show
  up anytime\, but we recommend arriving a few minutes early to introduce y
 ourself. We end promptly at 8:30 AM. Join us before the rally at Copper St
 ar Coffee. After the rally\, some of us head to a local diner for breakfas
 t and socializing.\n\n🅿️ There’s plenty of parking along Glenrosa\,
  and the shopping center on the NW corner. We haven’t had issues before\
 , but parking enforcement is unpredictable. If concerned\, check with othe
 rs.\n\n🚦We gather on all four corners of the intersection\, with the pr
 imary meeting spot on the northwest corner of 7th Ave & Glenrosa.\n\n🖌
 ️ One of RhRR’s strengths is that people feel free to express themselv
 es. Ideally\, your signs would help articulate any of our three pillars:\n
 \n* Defending democracy and the rule of law\n* Encouraging voting\n* Prote
 cting neighbors and communities (e.g.\, immigrants\, LGBTQIA+ people\, wor
 kers\, and veterans)\n\nThis approach keeps signs aligned with RhRR’s pu
 rpose\, while preserving personal expression and emotional authenticity.\n
 \n🇺🇳 Flags\, banners\, and even inflatable costumes are welcome. Som
 e blow lots of bubbles. While our mission is serious\, humor and camarader
 ie matter.\n\n😷 RhRRs are peaceful\, public events. Most attendees don
 ’t hide their faces\, though some do\; participate at your comfort level
 . Photos and videos are common on social media\, but you can ask posters t
 o remove accidental appearances.\n\nThanks in advance for joining us. See 
 you on the streets! ✊\n\n**More about RhRR and why we do what we do ever
 y day of the week:**\n\n📣 Rush Hour Resistance Rally began with a clear
  idea: neighbors\, gathering peacefully and regularly on busy nearby stree
 ts\, could remind our communities that democracy is essential and that sil
 ence is unacceptable. Over the last year\, RhRR expanded from a handful of
  participants to multiple locations across the Valley\, reaching thousands
  of pedestrians and motorists each week. This momentum is significant\, as
  is the duty it brings.\n\n🗳️ As we approach the midterm elections\, 
 our united mission is to safeguard free and fair elections and promote civ
 ic participation\, particularly in local and primary races where every vot
 e carries weight. Our weekly rallies are more than outlets for frustration
 \; they are consistent\, visible commitments that normalize voting and dem
 ocratic engagement as neighborly expectations.\n\n🕊️ RhRR is a peacef
 ul\, nonconfrontational movement. Our goal is to reach the broader communi
 ty\, not to confront those seeking conflict. When tensions surface\, we wi
 thdraw\, stay composed\, and look out for one another. This discipline kee
 ps our rallies inviting and helps newcomers feel secure joining us.\n\n
 🫂 Most of all\, RhRR is about people caring for one another while stand
 ing up for the future of our democracy. Every person who shows up\, every 
 sign held\, and every conversation sparked on a street corner is part of s
 omething larger and deeply hopeful.\n\nMore info at [RhRR.us](https://rhrr
