One Year Ago – Ocean Beach As Usual Was Ahead of Its Time – ‘Impeach !’ Spelled Out in the Sand

It was one year ago, on March 4th, 2017, that nearly 500 people showed up at the beach at Ocean Beach and with their bodies, spelled out the words “IMPEACH !” and “RESIST”.

As usual, Ocean Beach was ahead of its time – now the entire country wants to impeach Trump (okay, only two-thirds).

First, about 200 people spelled out the word “RESIST” north at Dog Beach, and then the entire crowd then marched south along the beach to hundreds more who had gathered on the beach at the end of Newport Avenue and began making the letters for “Impeach”.

Here’s a photo gallery of the event, which was organized on its own Facebook page – see this report.

A former lawyer and current grassroots activist, I have been editing the Rag since Patty Jones and I launched it in Oct 2007. Way back during the Dinosaurs in 1970, I founded the original Ocean Beach People’s Rag - OB’s famous underground newspaper -, and then later during the early Eighties, published The Whole Damn Pie Shop, a progressive alternative to the Reader.
