Protesters stand up for peace in the pouring rain

"California 1 For Peace" was a statewide protest along California Highway 1 from San Diego to Humboldt,  Saturday February 19th from noon to 2:00pm.  The event were in support of peace and against the U.S. policies in Iraq. Participant Jeff Gillmore emailed me:

"In HMB, we had around 20 participants at our site next to Surfer’s Beach.  For much of the event, a driving rain was falling, but that did not dampen the spirits as much as it dampened the feet!  There were several hundred supportive honks with accompanying waves and peace signs, as well as a dozen or so less-friendly responses.  I got a sense that people were heartened to see someone standing up for their beliefs in this depressing (for progressives) post-election period."
