At 9 p.m. June 21 — hours after it became widely known that the United States had bombed Iranian nuclear facilities — Chico’s LeAnn Jenswold got to work.
As a founder and leader of the Re-Sisters — a group that has emerged in recent months to participate in and organize anti-Trump Administration protests — she knew what to do. It was the moment to organize a pop-up anti-war protest.
About 30 protesters gathered today at Mangrove and Vallombrosa avenues, many to protest the direct military action taken the previous day against Iran.
“I’m concerned that Trump is acting unilaterally,” said Jenswold, who was carrying a hand-scrawled sign that said: “Where’s Congress? Trump’s unchecked power/attack on Iran.”
