Dear Friends,
Congratulations to all of you who participated in the “Hands Off” rallies on Saturday—there were 1,500 registered protests across the U.S. and around 5 million participants. That is HUGE!
The energy continues: the next “National Day of Action” is coming up on April 19. Details here: bit.ly/42AfvoK. Hope to see you there!
I made it to four rallies myself:
-
Sebastopol – about 1,000 people
-
Petaluma – a few hundred
-
San Rafael – 5,000
-
Santa Rosa – another 5,000!
I’ve been to a lot of protests in my life, and I have to say—these were the best! Even in the midst of concern and urgency about our future, there was an overwhelming feeling of solidarity, connection, and hope. It felt absolutely wonderful.
Also… my sign got lots of smiles—and I’m happy to say, some real interest! I know I’ll be even more effective with the right partner by my side, and it felt so empowering to be clear about that. I look forward to the day I can send you a photo of the two of us standing together.
Peace & Love,
❤️ Jes
