It’s just two days before the most important election of our lives so far,<\/strong> an election that could give us a fighting chance to save the climate and our nation’s core democratic values. We want to thank many 350 Humboldt members for their work in getting out the vote.<\/strong> The flip side of getting out the vote is making sure those votes are counted — something we used to take for granted, but may be in question this year.<\/p>\n
That’s why 350 Humboldt is inviting you to join an event on Wednesday, November 4.<\/strong> Our partners People\u2019s Strike Humboldt, Cooperation Humboldt, North Coast People\u2019s Alliance, Centro del Pueblo, Humboldt-Del Norte Central Labor Council, and Humboldt County Democrats are planning a Car\/Bike\/Skate Caravan,<\/strong> followed by a “Protect the Results” Rally <\/strong>at the Humboldt County Courthouse. We hope you’ll join us!<\/p>\n
Caravan participants can meet at 4:15 PM at Eureka High School<\/strong>, 1915 J St., to leave at 4:30 followed by a brief stop at the Labor Temple at 840 E St. If you can bring canned food for those having a harder time these days, donations will be accepted there. Everyone will meet at the Courthouse at 5 PM for the rally.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The message is that we reject attempts to undermine the election,<\/strong> including any attempts to intimidate voters, nullify legitimate votes, close polling sites, or other forms of election fraud. And we can still make this a celebration of our work, and perhaps of our victory!<\/strong><\/p>\n
All participants must strictly follow the organizers’ safety instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n
1) Wear a face mask at all times; 2) Practice spacious solidarity — keep a safe, social distance; \u00a0 \u00a03) Bring sanitizer if possible. And be sure to drive\/bike\/skate safely in the caravan.<\/p>\n
