Ever drive by the Capitol building and see a crowd gathering, only to pass by wondering what was that? Whether it's a large gathering, a rally, or a special event, stories in this storyline will focus on all happenings outside of California's historic State Capitol building, located at 10th and L Streets.

Future articles in this storyline will likely include interviews with organizers and participants, as well as photographs, flyers and additional information.

Monday April 27th:

California Young Democrats will be holding a press conference to help mobilize the youth vote. Taking place from 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., the event will consist of approximately 60 people who will convene at the north steps of the Capitol.

Professional Beauty Federation of California will be holding a rally and giving free hair cuts to nearly 300 legislators from 3 - 7 p.m. on the south steps of the Capitol.

The California State Assembly is holding a memorial event from 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. on the west steps of the Capitol. 175 people are expected to show up.

*Note*: Events are compiled from the California Highway Patrol's Weekly Event Report, and are subject to change.

I work across the street from the Capitol and almost daily it seems there is a celebration, a demonstration, a rally or an event happening. I am looking forward to learning more about the details of what's happening there. Glad you are covering it, Jonathan.
