Civic Action the Week of Trump's Inauguration

Here's a Dropbox album , beginning with AFT 2121 Union's action to reassure our undocumented students and to "Take back our schools."  (Trump's nominee for Secretary of Education is NOT supportive of public schools!) 

The photos also include the event at the Geary Theater where local theaters, large and small, had a gathering to symbolize light in darkness, as is the tradition of always having a light on even in a dark theater.  The women you see are directors of three theater organizations.  The woman at the distance with a man and a woman on either side is Carey Perloff, Artistic Director of the ACT.  Then there's Torange Yeghiazarian, co-founder of Golden Threads, the first American theater with a focus on the Middle East, and Amy Mueller of the  Playwrights Foundation'

The rest of the photos are of the march yesterday.  Our City Hall was lit in pink, and in spite of a very heavy rain, spirits were high and people were hopeful.    Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of Oakland spoke, and Joan Baez sang, just as in the days when we were struggling with segregated schools and the war in Vietnam!

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
