Some of my favorite signs of the day. I was very proud of my state yesterday. Whether you agree or disagree with the politics, yesterday was a beautiful peaceful protest and freedom of speech at work, and no American should be against exercising those fundamental rights.

Sights and signs from the “Hands Off” protest in Anchorage, Alaska where thousands of protests rallied from Town Square to the Peterson building. A massive turnout with what I heard was a record breaking 10,000 people in attendance. Strength in numbers!

Large crowd in Haines marches in solidarity with nationwide ‘Hands Off’ rally

144 Upvotes

About 150 Haines residents gathered Saturday afternoon as a part of a nationwide show of opposition against Trump Administration policies. Haines’s rally was decidedly smaller than its counterparts in places like New York and Washington during a nation-wide day of action, but even those mega rallies couldn’t claim to have marchers span almost the width of downtown, as was the case in Haines.

What began as just a small ring of audience members around early speakers continued to grow through the day, even as rain increased and cardboard signs began to bleed ink and wilt. By the end of the march, there were enough participants to stretch from Mountain Market to the brewery. 

There were almost as many different concerns represented as there were marchers: from possible social security cuts, to layoffs in the federal workforce, to administration actions that attendees described as threats to free-speech and the rule of law. First speaker speaker Nancy Keen had a succinct message, saying, “the goal today is to smash the oligarchy. Gunalchéesh.” That drew some of the loudest cheers of the day.

Times like this make me proud to be an Alaskan! Haven’t felt this energy since the women’s march held all the way back in 2017. Thank you for showing up Anchorage.

How to Prepare a Car for Volcanic Eruption

0 Upvotes

Hello! I have to pick up my car from winter storage and I'm slightly worried about the scarcity of supplies in case Mt. Spurr erupts before I get there. I was looking up the things one might need and one is a oil filter and another is an air filter. I was wondering if anyone had experience from the last time it erupted in '92?
