It was a great Hands Off protest yesterday with great energy! It was one of over 1200 protests organized yesterday. If you need a jolt of optimism, come join the next one which is looking like April 19. All ages were out but the majority of the crowd were the good ole Berkeley hippies. I swear the 75+ crowd dominated! It was beautiful, like seeing them in their natural habitat 😂.

I also appreciate that Berkeleyside covered this as their top story. Local news has withered away in most places for the last couple decades, but Berkeleyside has picked up a lot of the slack as a non-profit news org. Throw them a few bucks if you can. These protests across the country should have been front page news today but many big newspapers failed to cover or feature them.

Anyhow, you are not alone. Take care of the person next to you. Enjoy this beautiful day.
