The same police department in Aurora, Colorado that murdered Elijah McClain also perpetuated this disgusting, racist "traffic stop".

Dear Friends of the PJC, We need someone to remove this stuff from our parking lot. The red wheelbarrow, the plastic bin (mostly empty) and the 3 sheets of siding. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could do this for free; however, if you need to be reimbursed for the dump run, send an email to [email protected] BEFORE going to the dump. Thank you from your community nonprofit organization!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: There will NO official Women's MARCH held in Santa Rosa on October 17th for safety in this time of COVID-19 here's why - Sonoma County is still in the highest level of COVID-19 restrictions and we have the 5th highest level of transmission in the State of California. Currently our viral reproductive rate, defined as the number of people one person can infect, stands at 1.04, meaning virus transmission is stable but the number of residents infected will... increase - the organizer of Women's March Santa Rosa does not want to increase this risk of transmission for anyone who would potentially attend. In the past four years we have had attendance range from 4K - 8K - the potential RISK of bringing this large of a gathering together is too high at this time. In addition to the opportunity to March in San Francisco, there are also plans for marches in Napa, Alameda and Sacramento at this time. Info about these opportunities can be found here: https://map.womensmarch.com/?eventType=oct-17-march If additional opportunities are posted they will be shared on this page. Opportunities for phone banking, texting, other events and voting information will also be posted on this page leading up to Election Day. Understandably some are going to be very frustrated that a MARCH is not being provided in Santa Rosa, please keep in mind the reason behind this tough decision and THANK YOU for understanding our entire community's safety and health is of utmost importance both before and after November 3rd. - Leslie Graves, Women's March Santa Rosa Organizer https://www.facebook.com/srwomensmarch/
