From David Schmalz, #MontereyCountyNow: “As I rode my bike away from Window on the Bay toward the Monterey Museum of Art’s block party in downtown, it felt to me like the event was an inflection point.” https://www.montereycountynow.com/blogs/opinion_blog/a-weekend-protest-draws-thousands-to-decry-the-presidential-administration-and-perhaps-marks-an-inflection/article_2ebc7d8d-d745-4814-808f-66123324ad6b.html

"I've been to a lot of rallies at Window on the Bay and I've never seen a crowd this big. This should say something to every single one of us.”— #Monterey #Mayor Tyller Williamson

"This is what #democracy looks like.”—#MontereyCounty District 5 Supervisor Kate Daniels

We biked to Window on the Bay Park in Monterey today, where over 3,000 (per #MontereyCountyNow) #HandsOff protestors gathered.

Among our favorite photos: Canadian and US flags blowing in the breeze. We have Canadian and Canadian-American family members, and we cherish them and the long friendship our countries have shared.

As for the many messages on posters spotted today, we especially resonated with this one: “Ugh. Where do I even start."
