Protests continue on Aurora

Demonstrators at Social Justice Sunday

A chorus of honking car horns and mostly appreciative hand waves greeted the more than 50 people at the "Social Justice Sunday" sign-waving event this past Sunday May 18, 2025 at the Shoreline/ Edmonds line.

The group held signs celebrating America's democratic history and principle of rule of law, commitment to social justice (working towards fairness, equity, and equality for all - and acknowledging historical and systemic factors in social injustices), and much more.

Rain was no deterrent

Attendees from all walks of life stood up for everyday people and groups of all stripes, calling out Trump administration policies and program cuts many see as unconstitutional or discriminatory.

Non-perishable food donations were again collected for the Hopelink food pantry and a representative from the non-profit Backbone Campaign staffed an information table for attendees and passersby.

Backbone Campaign is "a resource for artful activism and creative interventions," seeking to "[amplify] people power to protect what we love."

The Sunday event was organized by Shoreline-based Everyday Activists.
