Thanks for coverage of Hands Off event in Everett

Thank you for providing coverage of the Hands Off! event in Everett (“Thousands gather in Everett to say ‘Hands Off’ to Trump,” The Herald, April 6). That was great to see. Pro-democracy folks have been organizing in Snohomish County for several weeks now and it was so great to see some coverage of things in a local newspaper-the national press is finally showing what is going on too.

Thank you for your fair coverage!
