south of San Francisco.

We had a pretty good turn out - a little over a hundred people. I would say 70 % women, 30 % men. It was refreshing to see some early/mid 20s folks there as well.

It was dark by 730 so they had us bring flash lights and candles. Some one brought some cow bells. So there we were with our signs, flash lights/candles, and our chants.

The chants were "Kava NO, NO, NO." "Tell me what democracy looks like - This, is what democracy looks like". "I believe survivors". "I believe Dr Ford". "Vote them out".

It was hard to get myself there after working a full day, but so glad I went to be around like minded people and know I'm not alone.

I feel like I have done something or else I feel helpless and frustrated.
