Anti-Vaccine Mandate Demonstrators Gather At Malibu Pier

MALIBU, CA — A group of anti-vaccine mandate demonstrators is standing at the Malibu pier holding signs to protest vaccine mandates, according to the Pepperdine Graphic.

A flier promoting the demonstration, obtained by the Local Malibu, said the protest would occur at the Malibu Pier and at the intersection of State Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) and Webb Way.

The group is calling themselves "Cali Free" and is protesting against "medical mandates."

The demonstration is seemingly about school mandates, as protesters can be seen holding signs that read "parent's rights are fundamental and supreme," "say no to vaccine mandates," and "we are their voice, they are our future."

It is unclear which mandates the group is specifically protesting.

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District does not have a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, Community and Public Relations Officer Gail Pinsker said. They will wait for Gov. Gavin Newsom's decision on vaccine mandates for students and will enforce any mandate he makes.

The district does, however, require indoor and outdoor masking on campus.
