Hands Off!

[gwynnega]

There were several Hands Off! protests in Los Angeles today. Originally I was going to attend one outside the Los Feliz Library, but the Los Feliz protest got moved to the corner of Hollywood and Vermont, so I opted for the one outside the Social Security Administration in Glendale (mostly because the parking was easier). It was a good crowd, but I never felt boxed in. There were many wonderful signs (my favorite read MUSK RAT LOATHE), and passing motorists honked enthusiastically. I may have gotten too much sun.

I used to go to a lot of protests when I was younger and more able-bodied, but I just couldn't not go today. I'd forgotten what a joyous experience it can be.

I'm so glad you did!

Me too! (I wasn't sure how easy it would be for me, with vertigo, but it was mostly fine.)

MUSK RAT LOATHE is a great one. Really heartened by them all.

Thank you! It really was a wonderful event.

I went to the one in my small town, which had several hundred people lining the main street (but, because we were mostly older white people, we didn't block shops or the sidewalk). Lots of noise, lots of honking in support, lots of good vibes.

That sounds wonderful!
