Solidarity Rally with the Davis Islamic Center in Central Park

1/27/2017

0 Comments

 
On Sunday, January 22nd the Davis Islamic Center was the victim of hate-crime vandalism: windows were shattered, bicycle tires and seats cut up, and bacon was left on door handles. The Davis community has, in the days that followed, shown a tremendous outpouring of support, bringing flowers, goods and monetary donations to help rebuild that which was damaged. Already, tens of thousands of dollars have been raised for repairs.

Today, Friday January 27th, a solidarity rally was held in Central Park, sponsored by Statement of Love and The Gatherings Initiative, a project of the Davis Phoenix Coalition. Hundreds of community members of all ages, races, and religions turned out in support. Speakers included the Imam of the Davis Islamic Center, Davis Mayor Robb Davis, District Supervisor Don Saylor, Sacramento CAIR members, local religious leaders, student groups, and more.

Sacramento #WomensMarch, sister March to Women's March on Washington, at California State Capitol

1/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Today I made my way into Sacramento for the Women's March, one of many around the nation that were sister marches to the one in Washington D.C. While I missed the march proper, I arrived to see the tail end arriving at the state Capitol's west steps. Pink pussy hats, part of the Pussy Hat Project, were in abundance, and umbrellas-as-protest-signs were also a popular motif given the drizzly, overcast weather in the greater Sacramento area recently.

A stage was set up at the Capitol's west steps, with attendees lining the sidewalks and down the Capitol Mall. Speakers ranged from politicians and local organizers, to artists, comedians, and activists.

Between roughly 12pm and 1pm marchers lined the Capitol mall almost all the way back to the Tower Bridge, with rally attendees milling the capitol mall throughout much of  the speaker schedule.

On Inauguration day, January 20th, Sacramento hosted a #NotMyPresident rally, one of many occurring throughout California as part of the Disrupt J20 actions nationwide. From five locations throughout Sacramento protesters gathered and marched to meet for a rally on the west steps of the California State Capitol.

While I unfortunately missed the marches, here are some shots at the end of the rally on the Capitol steps.

I have been continuing the arduous task of sorting and organizing my photo archive, a 2TB+ task, and came across a few old favorites from between 2007 to 2011--the years I just finished organizing. Enjoy!
