The weekend of March 8th and 9th, 2025 was a busy one in Cincinnati. Saturday was the International Women’s day event at Fountain Square. Sunday was the Queen City United Against White Supremacy rally in Washington Park. I was a medic for both events.

Saturday was busier than I expected. The pro-Palestine events I support usually bring out a hundred or so people, this was probably more like 400 people. The police presence wasn’t too bad.

Sunday was not as busy, probably 300 people, but the police presence was ridiculous. There was a line of patrol cars all the way down the west end of the park and also a paddy-wagon. I guess the cops were worried about their klan buddies or something.
