Today (August 29th), I went to Sacramento’s Southside Park to attend a commemoration of the 1970 Chicano Moratorium, a Vietnam protest in East Los Angeles where 20K-30K marched (and three were killed by police). A number of anti-ICE activists were present, and Aztecan dancers danced.
I didn’t expect C.T. Weber though! For decades he has been a consistent advocate for California’s Peace and Freedom Party. He was brought forward to share his memories of the events of that momentous day.
I fondly remember C.T. as one of the 135 registered candidates (154 total who received votes) in the 2003 California Gubernatorial Recall Election, won by Arnold Schwarzenegger. In that election, C.T. placed 50th with 1,626 votes and I placed 41st with 1,840 votes.
May we all be as consistent as C.T. Weber!
