We had an impressive turnout at the August 28 candlelight vigil in solidarity with Charlottesville and Heather Heyer. A very long line of sign-carrying marchers stretched from Benham Park to the Courthouse on Placerville’s Main Street. Martin Luther King Jr’s “I have a Dream” speech was read aloud on its 54th anniversary. Songs were sung. Candles were lit. The drivers of passing cars honked in support. It all began with de-escalation training and discussion at the park beforehand. All around it was a successful showing and effort. Congrats to EDP!
