A woman in oakland has come up with an artistic way to come up with dance class. These dance moves are part of a movement. Several adults and kids got together in the ridgemont neighborhood to dance in support of black lives read signs whi s when i came across the slogan white silence equals white consent that really struck a chord with me and i wanted to do something in protest of inequality and it occurred to me what i do is dance.

A new way for me to protest and im all for it. It was amazing. More support dance classes are in the works possibly one this weekend at lake merritt.

Our warmest temperatures from 88 in san ramon. Open the windows now and enjoy that 50 degree weather and then you can close the windows and hopefully stay calm and cool the rest of the day and in your house you wont need to run the air conditioner. Thats one way of trying to cheat the system. Look at the 50s out there. A few more clouds along the coast in the bay and they will be short lived as the heat peaks tomorrow with mid 80s to mid 90s around the bay and inland. Stay in the mid to upper 60s along the coast.
