Saturday, November 15th, like many of you I participated in the Join The Impact protests here in DC.  I didn't bring my camera because I had a feeling the weather wasn't going to be great, but I brought my trusty iPhone and snapped a couple of pictures and did a little citizen photojournalism.

I estimated there had to be somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 people that marched from the Capital to the White House.  Kellan Baker, a young queer activist was the organizer.  I'm truly in awe as to what this young man put together in less than a week.

I'll let Kellan answer the questions in his own words.
