Activists of all ages gathered for an afternoon of art, music and politics at our third Democracy Cafe in Mill Valley. This month, we looked into solutions to end gun violence, through a range of activities designed to inspire us to action. We started the day by making signs for the ‘March for Our Lives’ rally. We then sang along with the Freedom Singers. Marin County Supervisor Kate Sears led a group discussion on gun reform. Young singer Emma Spike performed songs of hope, and music director Reed Fromer led a final sing-along with some classic tunes about social change.

This free public event took place on Sunday, March 18th from 2 to 5pm, at the O'Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. We were delighted to see many young people come make their own signs against gun violence, then stay to sing and talk with us.

Thanks to all our friends and neighbors who came to join their voices, minds and hearts to energize each other and create a better world. Kudos to our co-hosts Marilyn Price, Jennifer Tomkins, Rebecca Brackman, Grace Severtson -- and everyone who helped us organize this uplifting community event.

Democracy Cafe is a series of free creative and civic events led by Fabrice Florin and a growing community of activists and artists in Marin. We think making art, playing music and talking with people of all ages and backgrounds can build mutual understanding and engage us to take meaningful political action together.

Join your neighbors to make political art and music -- and keep democracy alive!

On Wednesday we were supposed to get a flight back from Amsterdam Schiphol airport. We were getting ready to leave when we heard the news about the plane crash. Aral had to be back for a conference on Thursday so we quickly booked Eurostar tickets thinking that might be our only way back home as we didn't know how bad the crash was.

When we got to the station to pick up our tickets they told us we had to pick up our tickets from Brussels, which was the half way stop on our Journey, we stared in disbelief, but sure enough they had sold us tickets that we couldn't possibly pick up or use until we got halfway through the journey we had already paid for. The only way was to buy another ticket and then pick up the tickets when we got to Brussels. This we grudgingly did, and on the train we got. Halfway through the trip to Brussels, the conductor checked our tickets and said we were on the wrong train and had to pay on top to stay on board! We were so angry by this point, the whole thing was ludicrous. Because we didn't have the right tickets we didn't have assigned seat numbers, and sure enough at one stop someone got on board that had our seat numbers on our tickets, so then we had to move seats :( This photo was taken shortly before that.

When we got to Brussels we tried to pick up our tickets from the machine, but out of the 5 only 2 were working and they wanted a 4 number code that we didn't have, so we had to go to the desk and get them to print out our tickets.

Phew! by this point we were pretty much exhausted. We finally got on the Eurostar and made it back to London and then took a train to Brighton. Not once did anyone apologise to us, or give us any help.

Possibly the most ridiculous journey I've ever made.

Eurostar needs to be sold to someone that can actually run a decent service.

Never leave rice in a cooker for more than 2 weeks. Lesson: learned!

Don't accept the creation of deportation camps.

My countrymen were put in such camps during the Nazi occupation for not having the "correct" religion, for their sexual preference, for their color, for their political beliefs, for being real journalists, or for simply speaking up.

You have the power to prevent this. You are better than this.

Your Complacency Kills Us is a temporary exhibit created by Parkland survivors on 3/26/19 on the Capitol grounds.

Outside of the school, nature has reclaimed most of the land and there's an eerie but beautiful stillness in it all. Nature has reclaimed most of the roads and driveways around the school itself

... who died on April,20 after several weeks of disease ... it's hard to realize that we'll never, never meet again. To me this is so unreal, although his death was expected.

He really loved our town, especially the city with the cathedral. And he loved Mozart: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKGQDmdDGgk

Never having had a Slider before, I had to stop and try one. Eeeeew, oniony.
