JULY 17th NO KINGS RALLY in Mt. Shasta and Yreka!
Mt Shasta Freeway Signs and Yreka Rally on the
Fourth of July Weekend
For three days, over 60 activists in Mt. Shasta displayed signs to freeway travelers from two bridges. As Maggie Shepard reported: "Thanks to our local Indivisible group, there was a celebration of our right to dissent here in Mt. Shasta. It was a fitting way to spend the holiday. It was remarkable that a large percentage of the vehicles honking support were semi-trucks."
MAIN STREET Rally in Yreka on July 4th: Over 80 activists in Yreka lined Main Street to protest!
Lots of positive reaction from the cars passing by.

National Day of Resistance
What an incredible day. We had over 150 people in Yreka, and over 1,000 people in Mt Shasta. WOW!!!!! Such an uplifting experience. Thank you for coming if you were able to be there. Thank you to all who helped organize and plan the events, and the people on the ground who made it happen and kept it safe. We have a great team of peace keepers in Mt Shasta, and we want to grow Yreka's safety team. You all sure made good trouble!! -- Emily Gibson for Siskiyou Resistance Coalition.

LaMALFA's Office Rally
​
​On Friday, April 18, about 50 of us from Siskiyou County joined the crowd of over 250 at LaMalfa's office in Redding to protest his lack of action, lack of town hall meetings, lack of concern for his constituents, and so much more. It was a great group and it was fun to see so many of our Siskiyou County activists joining with the Shasta County group on busy Churn Creek Road. Surprisingly (for Shasta County), there were lots of "thumbs up" from drivers and very few negative reactions.
"NO KINGS" Rally April 19
More Photos on Homepage!
"No Kings" rally, hosted by South Siskiyou Indivisible in conjunction with 50501, was a big success! An estimated 350 people attended from all around the county! And 100 people at the Yreka rally! April 19th was the 250th Anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War with Paul Revere's ride and the battles of Lexington and Concord!
One goal of this event was to continue to build community and movement momentum in our rural county before the next widespread national mass mobilization in May. Participants commited to the principles of non-violent, peaceful demonstration and keep a pathway for pedestrians to pass through the protest.
