Demonstrators showed up today for the Chico Free America Pop Up Protest, waving anti-Trump signs and telling reporters they will defend democracy, free expression and Constitutional rights.
Between 200 and 300 people attended, lining up on the sidewalks at the corner of Vallombrosa and Mangrove avenues. The event was organized quickly today by the Re-Sisters, the Defenders of Democracy Coalition and Indivisible Chico in coordination with the Free America Walkout that was scheduled to coincide with the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s inauguration.
