Action #1: Huntington Beach Banner Drop
We started out the day at 7 AM on a pedestrian overpass over the 405 Fwy near Warner Ave. with Code Pink Long Beach joining us. We remained for over one hour during the morning rush hour. As usual, we received a large number of positive and negative responses. At the end of the banner drop, we left 2 signs as our "freeway blog". Unfortunately, they were immediately seen by the CHP, and were quickly removed by Caltrans. Many thanks to OC Code Pink member Leslie, who along with myself, Stephanie, the 2 Kathy's and Susan, (all from LB Code Pink) for accomplishing a successful anti-inaugural protest. Since we had our banner and many signs, we were able to face both the northbound and southbound traffic lanes for maximum visibility.
