Protest at Veterans Administration Medical Center

Photos of Jan 15, 2026 demo in Menlo Park, CA. The Raging Grannies joined VFP 69 and VA union member employees outside the hospital. Honks and waves on this busy street corner. People including union construction workers stopped to chat.

No cuts in VA Health Services was their cry. The protesters also call for restoration of budget cuts. A member of Stand Up for Science and Sanity said that as a former doctor at this medical center she could see that services have been reduced drastically just looking at the lack of cars coming and going. The large parking lot was always full before, she stated.
