Dozens of Chico-area people joined the Labor Day weekend Bridge Banners Action today, protesting Trump Administration conduct and policy from overpasses on Eaton Road, Cohasset, 20th Street and Skyway.
According to the Defenders of Democracy coalition, the theme was “We Are OVER It,” and local protesters acted in concert with West Coast residents in the “Mexico to Canada Bridge Banner Challenge.”
The demonstrators received supportive honks from passing vehicles, and said they would be protesting as well the mornings of Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. The coalition is “devoted to nonviolent activism towards changing the current racist and authoritarian political culture,” a press statement said.
Nationwide, “Workers over Billionaires” protests were planned across the country.
Thank you Chico Sol
You are over it. And I take that to mean that you are over enforcing the laws of this land?? You leftism is showing bright and shiny and it is an ugly look but then chico is turning into a shithole so it fits. You are wasting your time, ICE is going to remove the illegals and then isn’t a damn thing you can do about it, go home enjoy your life, sit on the porch, go fishing, go golfing, go do whatever you normally do, but this is pathetic…
This is activism. This is people getting off the porch and talking to neighbors about how to improve our community.
More liberals brainwashed by leftist rhetoric. All being suckers by being fed missinformation that they choose to believe. Get a life and a job
If Trump or the Truman party remains in control, one day you will certainly sing a different toon.
So are you to shame people for believing in being human kind. You should try it sometime
Such a sad, sad, sad comment. We are fighting for American liberties rooted in the Constitution. This isn’t about “left” or “right”. Let’s take those terms off the table. This is about Due Process for all residing in this country, and having elected officials who follow the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, not those who feel that they can ignore the Constitution. Please Wake Up!
You, and those easily duped, such as yourself, are precisely the problem. You enable a madman who is in the process of dismantling institutions that are vital to a society of people who help one another. You and your ilk are destroying our country. Pathetic that you don’t even realize it. MAGA enablers will go down in history as the most gullible group of non-thinking Americans of our time. And you mock liberals for speaking up, as our nation is under attack from mindless zombies who let the orange baboon do whatever the fuck he wants. Shame on you.
This is the telling of the story of our culture. As George Gerbner, Dean of Communications at Penn State University said, “You know, who tells the story of a culture really governs human behavior.” I would encourage ChicoSol to develop this story with a statement and a photo from every participation group. I was thrilled to see a Veterans Resistance Group banner on the Eaton overpass. Let’s get a little more info out on this amazing event!
Voices across our nation today are speaking up for the preservation of Democracy, which means the preservation of the Constitution that creates three separate branches of government; the legislative, judiciary and the executive. Our current executive is consolidating power in the executive branch and many elected Congress officials and Senators are abdicating their power to one person as are some in the judicial branch. Masked, unidentified, police who kidnap people without due process and disappear them is what was happening in Nazi Germany and is now happening in the US. This is destructive to democracy and that is why citizens from every state are objecting.
