Unfortunately, I won't be attending. It is supposed to be "peaceful" but the amount of noise is unbearable. We can protest just effectively without excessive noise. Noise is a crutch. Bullhorns blazing into my ear doesn't sound appealing. As these protest are usually in densely pack areas I want to remind justice warrariors that many vulnerable people have to live in these areas. They already suffer more than others from pollution including light and noise pollution.
I would like to suggest an article about code enforcement and if they are enforcing our light pollution code in Twentynine Palms. I am seeing outrageously bright huge lights at businesses and when I call the code enforcement person say that its fine. She gaslights me and tells me businesses are not subject to the light code. This needs to be exposed because if they dont do something to control the lights light pollution will ( and is) out of control. There needs to be accountability.
