News Coverage from the Protest/Rally

With nearly 300 forest users demonstrating on bridges and overpasses over Highway 50, we had great response from the passersby (thumbs-up, smiles, and waves), and even better response from the press.

There were members of the press from Sacramento KCRA Channel 3, KXTV News10 and Fox 40 KTXL, as well as the Mountain Democrat and Sacramento Bee newspapers.
