conHi, everyone!
Per my regular publication schedule, I am sending a short note to open the Comment section. This edition is devoted to Ice Out for Good protest photos from Saturday, January 10.
I livestreamed my speech from the protest in Woodland Hills, CA, which can be viewed here: Live with Robert B. Hubbell. During my remarks, we were experiencing wind gusts of 25 mph, so the audio quality is poor. Substack’s audio processor removed all of the wind noise, leaving my remarks clipped and high-pitched.
Also, my wife, Jill Bickett, posted a blog on Friday that many people have found helpful in dealing with the emotional impact of the killing of Renee Nicole Good. See Every Day with Jill, The Day After the Renee Good Murder and The Day After That
Thanks to everyone who protested—in person or in spirit—on Saturday. If you can, join a protest on Sunday. I will be speaking in the San Luis Obispo area and will try to record my remarks for publication on Sunday evening.
Stay strong! This will stop when enough of us say, “No.”
West Los Angeles Bridge Brigade
Just had to tell you we had almost 200 people at our #ICEOutForGood freeway brigade today! It was incredible. I didn’t know I could feel joy again… but today was joyous. The people were LOUD. They showed up for Renee Nicole Good.
Lompoc, CA
Eugene, OR
Kona, HI
We are here on Big Island for a few days…head of a pop-up protest organized by Indivisible…so off we went…didn’t have sign makings but we had a photo of Renee Good on our phones and the response was quite incredible…thumbs up and tears…About 200+ people along the highway…VERY enthusiastic honking…
We braved the windy cold (20 degrees) to attend an “Ice Out For Good” protest this afternoon in Richfield, MN.
Ballard Defenders of Democracy, Seattle, WA
Our protest outside of Juan Ciscomani’s office in Tucson today. Really cold winds for Tucson, but a very large turnout and lots of horns honking in support.
Sharing some inspiring photos from the Los Osos, CA, protest today!
This afternoon, about 160 people gathered along a busy street in Des Plaines, IL (suburb of Chicago). This was one of several ICE OUT events planned in the Chicago area this weekend. Most of them are taking place on Sunday. Attached are photos of signs that caught my attention.
Today’s protest in San Mateo. I estimate an enthusiastic crowd of around 200. There were protests at several Peninsula cities.
Kennebunkport, ME
Richmond, CA
Our weekly protest, which usually has about 20-25 dedicated participants, ballooned to 200 today! See attached photos. It was wall to wall honks and waves.
Washington, DC
Boston, MA
Concord, MA
Seattle, WA
At today’s No Ice protest, there were about 500 of us. As with last night’s weekly Refuse Fascism Friday protest, the passing cars honking their horns was much more prevalent than we’ve become accustomed to.
Here are a couple protest photos from a bridge over I-25 in Denver taken this afternoon.
New Haven, CT.
Wilmington, NC. Several hundred people.
Cape Cod. We had a good turnout, about 350.
SF at Van Ness and O’Farrell. Several hundred peaceful protestors organized by Indivisible. Hundred of cars and trucks honking in solidarity.
Several hundred turned out for a Honk & Wave in Beaverton. The Frog was there, of course, and the sun even came out. My favorite signs were those of a grandma and of a little boy who had made his own. I was feeling very sad when I got there, but by the time I left, my spirits had been greatly lifted.
We stood together protesting the murder of Renée Good in Norwich VT. We will keep getting louder and louder at each protest!
Today my wife Stephanie (on the left) and I attended an ICE Out for Good protest in Carson City, Nevada’s capital city. We started a group called Make Good Trouble in Reno. Our friend and group member Paula Dolan was there too. And she brought this sign. Your words.
Dear readers,
I received many more photos, but I have run out of time to post more at this point. I will try to circle back to more photos from Saturday. It really helps me if you include the city and state where the protest took place in the body of the email.
