Just looked up my local library's next board meeting and have put it on my schedule to attend. Credit to @raforall.bsky.social for putting out a call for action with her Stoker Awards Ceremony speech. Thank you, Becky. I heard you and I'm on it. Hope everyone will do the same. #protectourlibraries

I went to my very first protest today in Huntington Beach! I loved it. Wish I had taken pictures while I was there.
