As a nonpartisan group, we march to support science, because we value science and facts do matter. We will stand together against policies that silence, mischaracterize or restrict science. We oppose threats to eliminate public environmental agencies and censor scientists and instead advocate for scientific evidence-based policy decisions.

We invite all supporters of science, environmental protections and environmental justice to join us. Let’s work together! Let’s march together! Again.

This is a peaceful nonpartisan march.

3:00 – 8:00pm | Free (RSVP)

Heron Arts is excited to announce its upcoming group exhibition comprised of artists who work in the Treat Ave studios in San Francisco’s Mission district. The history of the Heinzer building laid the groundwork for its becoming a vessel of creativity and expression, its primary use today. The artists who fill the building vary in medium – from printmaking to painting, software development to textiles, and even a music label. This show will feature all new works from current studio mates. The opening exhibition will have live performances from local bands Cool Ghouls, The She’s, Joseph Childress Band, Diko and Grace Sings Sludge.

Tax March on April 15th in Downtown Walnut Creek

April 14, 2017 2:00 pm

Walnut Creek Tax March:

Corner of Main St. & Mt. Diablo Blvd, Walnut Creek
Saturday, April 15th, 2017
11:00am | Free

The Tax March is a movement gaining momentum around the country to demand transparency and fairness from our Commander-in-Chief. Throughout his campaign, Donald Trump told the American people he would release his tax returns. Despite intense public pressure, President Trump has not yet done so – breaking with 40 years of precedent in the process. His administration’s excuse? “People don’t care.”

We do care. Without seeing his tax returns, we have no idea what he’s hiding – shady business deals? Financial ties to foreign countries? Conflicts of interest? – or who his policies are really benefitting.

On April 15, we’re marching on Washington and in communities across the country to send a clear message to Donald Trump: You work for us, and we demand answers.

End of the Rainbow Playing at Lesher Center through April 23rd in Walnut Creek

April 13, 2017 4:30 pm

End of the Rainbow:

Lesher Center for the Arts
1601 Civic Dr, Walnut Creek
Friday, March 31st – Sunday, April 23rd, 2017

End of the Rainbow is the Tony Award nominated musical drama of Judy Garland’s comeback concerts during Christmas, 1968. With a six-week booking at London’s Talk of the Town, it looks like Judy is set firmly on the comeback trail. The failed marriages, the suicide attempts and the addictions are all behind her. At forty-six and with new flame Mickey Deans at her side, she seems determined to carry it off and recapture her magic. But lasting happiness always eludes some people, and there was never any answer to the question with which Judy ended every show: “If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why, can’t I?” End of the Rainbow is a savagely funny drama featuring a glorious ensemble of Judy Garland hits and infused with the glamour and the melancholy of stardom.

Running Time: approx. 2 hours, with one intermission
