Weekly Protest Series Will Mark Valentine’s Day With ‘Fight Back With Love’ Theme

Organizers position Saturday rallies at Colorado and Fair Oaks as local lead-up to March 28 national demonstration

A local activist group returns to the corner of Colorado Boulevard and Fair Oaks Avenue on Saturday for its fourth consecutive weekly protest, this one carrying a Valentine’s Day theme the organizers call “Fight Back With Love.”

San Gabriel Foothills Indivisible, a chapter of the national Indivisible network that serves communities from Monrovia to Sunland-Tujunga, launched its “Save U.S. Saturdays” series on Jan. 24.

The group describes the protests as a local bridge leading up to No Kings Day 3.0, a nationwide demonstration planned for March 28 that will include a flagship march in Minneapolis-St. Paul, according to the No Kings Coalition website.

The protests run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday at the Old Pasadena intersection. A separate event listing on Mobilize.us states the demonstrations run until 2 p.m.

Promotional materials for the Feb. 14 event encourage attendees to “come ready to show your love for Democracy, Freedom, and Truth & the Rule of Law,” according to a review of the group’s event announcements. Weekly themes vary, but the group says participants’ signs may always support goals it endorses: rule of law, equal rights, due process, affordable health care, family support, and community safety.

Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin told the Associated Press that organizers “expect to be the largest protest in American history” on March 28. Levin has also said of the broader movement, “This isn’t about Democrats versus Republicans. This is about do we have a democracy at all.”

The group’s next general meeting is scheduled for Feb. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at St. Luke’s of the Mountains, 2563 Foothill Blvd., La Crescenta-Montrose. The meeting was moved from its usual Tuesday to Thursday because of religious holidays, according to the group’s website.
