"HANDS OFF" RALLY APRIL 5
Great Attendance at the SISKIYOU COUNTY "Hands Off" PROTESTS!
SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ON HOMEPAGE!
April 5th was a lovely day for a protest. We had hoped for 200 individuals to come out for the protest in Mt. Shasta and were impressed that about 600 people in Mt. Shasta and around 135 people in Yreka attended.
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
"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.
