Spotted: Menlo Speaks Out protesting ICE activity

Emails Mary Watson of Menlo Speaks Out:  “The ICE activity around the country — particularly the killings in Minneapolis — has really turned up the level of intensity in our protests. We had over 50 people on Sunday when it has usually been 15-20. The level honking on our route was significantly higher!”

For those interested in participating, Menlo Park Speaks Out meets every Sunday morning, gathering at Fremont Park at 10:30 am and walking through town via the Farmer’s Market down to the corner of El Camino and Ravenswood, returning by approximately 11:30.

“We have been doing this without missing a Sunday since this past April.,” says Mary. “Momentum is building and we need to keep it going as long as our Democracy is at threat.”
