You guys are awesome! 1,200 people attended our Good Trouble Lives On Rally in Palo Alto to stand up for voting rights! You can see some coverage here. This event wouldn’t have been possible without numerous volunteers who organized speakers and tables, coordinated and welcomed others, ran activities, set up and cleaned, kept us safe, documented the day, spread the word, and made it all run smoothly.
