According to the parade organizer, about half a million people participated in the parade. They ranged from elderly people to young parents who brought their week-old baby. Some flew in from California and rushed to the venue. Others drove more than 10 hours from the Midwest to participate. Along with Caucasians, there were also Asians, African-Americans, Hispanics—people of every ethnic group. Many said their belief in God and their shared values brought them together.
There were also many Chinese immigrants who came from all over the U.S. One Chinese from New York said he used to reject Falun Dafa practitioners and were dismissive when they tried to help people quit the CCP in Flushing, New York. He said this election made many Chinese clearly see how the CCP is controlling and disrupting the U.S.. Several other Chinese said they now respect and thank practitioners wo persistently tell people the truth.
The small business owner Depoorter from Nebraska said that she objects to abortion. “Our stand in treating every problem should be based on our belief in God and the Constitution. These are the fundamental elements of our country’s establishment. If these fundamental elements are lost, we will lose our country. They are going towards a socialist democracy. Two or three years later, our country won’t be recognizable. I don’t want to see such a thing happen.”
Mr. Landry brought his wife and two children from North Carolina to join the parade. He said he wanted to defend America’s core values. “Justice and rule of law are fundamental values. These are also our country’s core values. We are worried that we will lose these values.”
Mr. Bruce from New Jersey said that he was amazed by the parade. He said that traditional values unites everyone. “Look at the crowd today, it includes all races. We see Chinese, African-Americas, Hispanics and Caucasians. This scene is a true portrayal of the real America! Everyone here holds common, traditional values.”
CCP Caused Election Chaos
Chinese immigrant Ms. Guo and her friends drove to Washington from New York at 6 a.m. that morning. Ms. Guo said, “We do not want to see America become a socialist country. We do not want to lose our freedom of belief. We do not want to become the next China. ”
Another Chinese immigrant, Ms. Deng said, “We came to America for freedom. ”
Ms. Deng said this election helped her become clear about the CCP. “In the past, I only saw Falun Dafa practitioners telling people about the CCP's crimes in China. I did not imagine that the CCP is directly trying to destroy America.” She said that Falun Dafa practitioners' media outlets are the only platforms that are willing to speak out for justice. She said it is rare and different from the other media, which are fraudulent, so she and her friends support Falun Dafa.
