#BigAssRally at UC Davis in solidarity with fired UCSC graduate student strikers / #COLAstrike3/2/2020 This afternoon the UC Davis for COLA movement held a rally and march in solidarity with recently fired UC Santa Cruz graduate student strikers. UCD students gathered at the Memorial Union flagpole where several organizers spoke. The crowd was led first in a prayer, then updates on and hope for the movement, followed by chants and song. A march followed after to the Mrak Hall administrative building where additional students spoke. At the end of the rally students were led once more in song before breaking into affinity groups for discussion. Visit the UC Davis for Cola website for more information.

The valley has been suffering some nasty air quality the past week or so as a result of the massive fires up north, the Carr Fire in Redding and the Mendocino Complex Fires (River and Ranch)--and perhaps the Ferguson fire in Yosemite as well--have been sending smoke our way making the days hazy and gray. A few nights ago when I went out for a walk, the smell of smoke was thick in the air and the moon was orange from the smoke still lingering in the sky.  Some shots I took on a camping trip to Point Reyes National Seashore a few years back. Completely forgot to post these.   
Sunflower season is here again, and the blooms are big and bright along Poleline Road. Though my car is proving too unreliable to risk heading to the volatile County Fire (which I had rather wanted to shoot), I contented myself today shooting the sunflowers in Davis against a smoky sunset backdrop.     Part of the nationwide day of action, Sacramento participated in the "Families Belong Together" protest on Saturday, June 30th to speak out against Trump's zero tolerance policy and the separation of children from their families and their subsequent inhumane detention in ICE detention centers.
