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.
