We stood on both sides of the street and on the median chanting and holding signs. Someone had a box of pre-printed signs to carry, and I saw a pre-printed banner as well. A bunch of people brought their own. My favorite pre-printed sign read "Please upgrade your plan to read this sign". I came away with one that read "Killing Net Neutrality Harms Small Business". I liked the home-made sign that read "Let Freedom Ping". We got a lot of honks and thumbs up from motorists. Traffic on Peachtree Road at that hour is pretty horrific, so folks had plenty of time to see us or ignore us.<br><br>WABE sent a reporter out to cover the protest. The treacherous GPB, of course, couldn't be bothered. I saw lots of cameras, but I haven't been able to find any pictures on the web yet. There's a good deal of national coverage ( <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/12/07/net-neutrality-protests-planned-thursday-at-verizon-stores-nationwide/" target="_blank">http://www.mercurynews.com/<wbr>2017/12/07/net-neutrality-<wbr>protests-planned-thursday-at-<wbr>verizon-stores-nationwide/</a>), ( <a href="https://www.cnet.com/pictures/net-neutrality-supporters-protest-outside-verizon-in-nyc/" target="_blank">https://www.cnet.com/pictures/<wbr>net-neutrality-supporters-<wbr>protest-outside-verizon-in-<wbr>nyc/</a> ).
