A group of five men police say appeared to be members of right-wing extremist group Proud Boys disrupted a LGBTQ event for children at the San Lorenzo Library on Saturday.
Library staff said that the men wouldn't leave, and their rhetoric was escalating so they called the sheriff's office, immediately.
“We removed the performer from the room to the back and then, we invited the parents and children to exit the room as well,” said Cindy Chadwick, librarian for Alameda County Library. Even after all of that, both the performer and staff said they felt strong about finishing the reading program, so they ended up covering all of the open windows with anything they can find, just so they could make the families feel more comfortable.
The library added that nothing is stopping them from celebrating Pride Month but Panda Dulce said the incident and others are now pushing organizers to look at security measures, even at events like like this that are meant for children and families.the following statement on his Twitter page Sunday afternoon"In flight now from California to DC as I learned of Proud Boys attack on Trans community in my district. I will return home this week to meet with law enforcement and the community.
In flight now from CA to DC as I learned of Proud Boys attack on Trans community in my district. I will return home this week to meet with law enforcement and the community. We will not stand for this. And justice will flow like waters.
