Indivisible March in Los Angeles - August 26, 2017

Ever since the horrific events in Charlottesville two weeks ago, I've been aching to get out and protest. This weekend, my wife and I attended the Indivisible March in Los Angeles to rally for women's rights and honor Heather Heyer, who was brutally run over and murdered by a Nazi terrorist in Charlottesville while counter-protesting against white supremacy. It was an extremely hot afternoon, but we enjoyed meeting with friends and seeing so many people stand up against hatred. I hope you enjoy the video we made of our time there.

I'm on the indivisible mailing list and just checked their LA Web sites - no mention of this.

It was on Spring Street in front of City Hall at 1pm and we marched to Pershing Square. A friend of ours forwarded it to us a couple days ago.

Our people make me smile. Good, strong, and happy.

Their people make nobody smile. Even themselves.

I love the signs the women were carrying honoring pioneering women throughout history, accompanied by a quote from Cheeto Benito that he might have said about them. Very high spirits there!

I always loved Rockford's LA, that Jim Garner showed, but have no experience with the good strong LA progressives.
