In the opening moments of the newest adaptation of Dune, the first visuals on screen are of the sun falling behind the iconic dunes that dominate the desolate planet of Arrakis. The voice of Zendaya's Chani monologues about how her people, the Fremen, live on this planet, which outside forces continually target for its resources. The forces coming to Arrakis seek to get the rare Melange, often referred to as "spice," at any cost since.

News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. 5/6/2021 Allison Needles, The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)
May 6 Tacoma voting rights activists are planning a motorcade along Ruston Way on Saturday as part of a national John Lewis Day of Action.
Tacoma will be one of 100 cities across the United States to participate in the event, which honors the late John Lewis, who was a Georgia congressman and a civil rights icon. He died in July at 80 while battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Starting at 10 a.m., community leaders and activists plan to gather outside of the Union Station, 1717 Pacific Ave. downtown and hear from guest speakers. Around noon, the line of cars termed a votercade will proceed from Union Station along Ruston Way to Dune Peninsula Park.
