Black Lives Matter Too!


"Black Lives Matter" and "White Silence = White Violence" were two of the messages Glenda Hope, OWL's president, held when she gathered people together on Tuesday, June 9, for an hour at San Jose and Geneva. Patti Spaniak- Davidson, Chris Dillon, Barbara Fugate, and Jane Merschen are other OWL members who participated, all honoring the 6' distance and wearing masks. It was a spur-of-the-moment action.


Glenda reports, "The response we got from passing drivers and pedestrians was very good." She also confided that the wind (from nature and passing cars) was so strong that she feared it would lift her and her sign up like Mary Poppins, but she remained grounded.


Stay tuned for our July 27th Zoom meeting, when racial justice will be our topic with guest speakers Joani Marinoff and Debra Taube of SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice).

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...
