A Monterey County nonprofit is calling off an event where people do unpaid labor in a field to somehow commemorate Juneteenth, the newly-recognized Federal Holiday celebrating the emancipation of slaves at the end of the Civil War. The aptly–named (or maybe not) Juneteenth Coalition’s event, “Anguish of the Elders” (archive,) was to be held in the wealthy Carmel Valley. The plan was for people to fast “from sunup to sundown,” show up to Serendipity Farms on Carmel Valley Road and “[perform] 246 minutes of field work for 246 years of enslavement.”

In screenshots taken from the Facebook profile of Sgt Amelia (Ammie) Kessem, she accused a library worker of trying to “indoctrinate” her 6-year old child with gay pride decor—and it’s not the first time she’s accused educators of sinister designs on children.

On Sunday Calvary Chapel San Jose is hosting Tony Perkins, head of the Christian Nationalist Family Research Council. The FRC is a Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate group that, according to the SPLC, lobbies in Washington against LGBTQ+ rights and hate crime laws and conducts “outreach to pastors” in order to “transform the culture.” Perkins himself has a long history of making alliances with racists. He once paid KKK Grand Wizard David Duke $82,500 for his mailing list and spoke before the Council of Conservative Citizens, which the SPLC calls “the modern reincarnation of the White Citizens Council.”
He’s set to speak on the 6th at the 9AM and 11AM services.
