Because of the shutdown, many national parks and beaches of San Francisco were left without staff. This has led to the closure of kings Canyon, Redwoods, some areas of Yosemite and other parks, as they filled the garbage that no one remove. To do this we have volunteers and public works crews.
On Saturday, January 5, members of Congress Jackie Speyer and Jared Huffman joined the volunteers and collected debris on ocean beach, and lends End, oblivious to the heavy rain and strong wind.

Speyer described the situation as a political stunt, the same as the actions of trump. But Huffman said that it is not. According to him, it’s not a trick, because the garbage is piling up across the country because of what the President did, so his actions have serious consequences.
