It was packed, and then some. I don't think the planners thought that many would show.

A very diverse crowd. I was helping the ADA folks maneuver down the path to the seats set up for them. One woman in a wheelchair was 92!

Lots of young AA and Latino people with their young children with them.

2 disrupters in the crowd. Law enforcement got them out fast. About 40 Trump humpers gathered a football field away being annoying but we drowned them out.

85 degrees on November 1. Organizers had loads of water available for everyone.

Hillary was great, of course.

It was a great experience. I'm feeling pretty dehydrated now but it was worth it.
