San Mateo, California. About 20 people gathered in San Mateo to demonstrate their rejection of the recall of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Convened by the groups Raging Grannies and Indivisible, the demonstrators located at 300 South El Camino Real, invited with signs, slogans and dance to passers-by and drivers to vote "no" in the election of September 14, 2021.
We're nonpartisan. If [Newsom] doesn't stay as governor, we're in serious trouble. All the candidates who want to take his place are terrible. So we're encouraging everyone in San Mateo today: please vote NO on Newsom's recall," said Ruth Robertson of the Angry Grannies.
If you don't love Newsom's job, his term is almost over, he only has a year left. But now we have to keep him going so he can continue to keep us safe during the pandemic. Let him continue to help tenants with rent," said the member of this organization made up of women in their 60s, 70s and 80s who, by the way, said they are "all vaccinated" against COVID-19.
Glen Ricafrente of the organization Indivisible, for his part, expressed that:
We advocate against recall because Gavin Newsom has done a good job. If someone else comes in now, we're going to see COVID-19 numbers increase exponentially like they do in other states. We don't want that to happen in California," said Glen Ricafrente of Indivisible.
Debra Kattler, also of Indivisible, added that "it's very important that we defend the principle of majority rule. But the recall pushed by the Republicans are a minority who want to repeal what the majority wants?
Kattler added: ?I think this is unconstitutional and we need to change the way the recall is currently set up. I also think that, if there are people who disagree with the way Gavin Newsom has run things, they should mount an opposition for the next election?
