March in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Lots of gray haired warriors like me there. A very progressive college town.
It is always fun to get together with folks like me who became socially aware in the sixties

I'm bad at estimating the size of crowds, but I would guess we had a couple thousand. There was a pitiful group of 4 or 5 counter-protesters.

One of the organizers was told there were about 3000 in attendance. That's pretty good for a city the size of Eureka and a county the size of Humboldt. Of course, this is a district where our Democratic Rep. will win re-election by 50 points.

I did the March for our Lives and was surprised at how many baby boomers like me (I'm 67) were there.
Unfortunately I'm not able to participate today, but I'm there in spirit.
