Pence’s visit to NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View prompted a small protest outside. About 25 to 30 people from groups like Raging Grannies, Refuse Fascism and other non-affiliated groups protested.

Roxy Chaney from San Francisco says she doesn’t want people at home to feel that they are alone if they are just as frustrated with the current presidency.

“With women’s rights, their civil rights, is that something we can expect going into the future? As we look at the space race as we look at putting the first American woman on the moon, can we really expect to do that if we look at women the way we do right here on planet earth,” Chaney said.

She held a sign that said, “How can we put a woman on the moon if our VP can’t be alone with one in a room?”

Raiko Redmonde from Berkeley wore a foil blanket and drove an hour and a half to protest.

“I’m wearing this foil blanket symbolizing people in the cages which Pence said he visited one of the detention facilities which he called very, very clean. This is all part of the Trump Pence fascist program,” Redmonde said.

Protesters blocked part of the intersection at Moffett Boulevard, but once police asked them to move they did so peacefully.
