Hundreds of people joined the People’s March on Chico today, marching from City Plaza to the Women’s Club as many passing drivers honked in support, prompting cheers and screams from the protesters.
Lead coordinator of the People’s March Chico coalition and Women’s March Chico, Angela Silva, said the coalition formed in “response to Trump’s second election. We have welcomed in so many groups.” Silva said more than 500 people participated in the march and rally.
“On the national level, there is a massive list of groups that have come together across the nation, understanding that we’re going to need to work together to fight for our human rights, and to not abide by the injustices that may come out of this incoming administration,” Silva added.
