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!

Today's Flickr Group Roulette was a very thought provoking topic from the 6 million people group. They want 6 million people to upload a photo of themselves to symbolize the 6 million Jews who were killed during the Holocaust. As a child who grew up reading "The Diary of Anne Frank" I was always tormented by my first realizations at how evil people could be, as a 9 year old girl, I could not imagine how anyone could hate another human being based on their religion. Since that time I have always honored victims of The Holocaust and have raised my son to be tolerant of others and respectful of our differences. I shudder to think that anything like that could ever happen again. I'm so thankful that so many remember the destructive power of hate and dedicate themselves to spreading love, acceptance and tolerance.

Excellent food but let down by condescending and patronising FOH! #FirstTimeLastTime #NeverAgain
