Heads up, Humboldt:
While the county's masking mandate has been lifted, Public Health is still strongly recommending masking indoors in public, social distancing and "avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated spaces."
COVID-19 is still with us, so be sure to check the protocols at event venues.
The event will begin at 11:30
with a performance from the Raging Grannies. Booths equipped with button making
materials, sign making materials, voter registration forms, and other information available.
At noon, the march will be preceded by speeches from teens Olivia Joachim, Eva Swartz,
Lavender Weburg, MacKenzie Ridgwood, Arcata city council member Sofia Pereira, and
Eureka city council member Leslie Castellano. These speeches will follow a blessing
from Wiyot elder and former tribal chair member Cheryl Seidner.
Marching will be led by local instrumental group Bandemonium at 1 p.m. Attendees will
march to the Arcata Plaza and back.
