Thank You All
for Stepping Up!
Over 6,000 attended Chico's events!!
Alongside more than 7 Million people Worldwide!
Chico stands with Minnesota.
So far, in 2026 alone, there have been 9 people killed by ICE or related paramilitary actions in our streets.
Renee Good was murdered after dropping her child off at school, amidst chaos caused by federal-appointed ICE agents delivering conflicting demands.
Alex Pretti was executed after filming ICE agents assault a protester, leading to contradictory and demonstrably false "official" statements from the Trump regime.
In both instances, the ICE agents shouldn't have been there. They should not be paid by our tax dollars to murder citizens on a whim.
Right now, the loudest action is in Minnesota, but there are ICE agents in every state, soaking up our tax dollars in the blood of innocents. We can't stay quiet as it continues in our name as Americans. Minnesota called for a day of action, so Chico showed up to support them.
Over 1,400 people of all ages showed up to the protest in Chico on January 10th, an additional 300+ attended a walkout protest on Tuesday the 20th, and then 350 people in the middle of a Friday on January 23rd, sending a clear message. Thousands more showed up again on January 31st for a 4th ICE Out event. Our community must continue to speak up and speak out as these tragedies unfold across the nation.
Today, and every day this week, we need to stay active, from home or work or wherever we are. We need CA District 1 constituents to call our representatives and demand action.
If you have a phone, you can make your voice heard by the people who we elected to represent the interests of Californians.
Chico says
NO KINGS!
A Festival for Democracy:
No Kings 3!
The United States of America has been around for 250 years. It was designed as a constitutional democracy, not a monarchy, not an oligarchy, but a group of states unified under their Constitutional Rights and Freedoms. We celebrate those freedoms and encourage everyone to step up and speak out, share their position on the matters that concern them, locally and statewide and federally.
The fact that we can show up and voice our priorities is rooted in our freedoms and we have to exercise those rights, celebrate them, and demand they be respected. Our voices must be heard in order to be represented. So we will continue to use them. We will continue to celebrate our freedom to resist tyranny and demand equal representation.
We stand up and we demand
No Kings in the USA!
We are still at it. We won't give up.
The next No Kings celebration will be
March 28th. And we need your help to make it bigger and better than the events last year.

"What's the Point?"
A common question that comes up anywhere when there's a protest or a march or a rally is something along the lines of "What's the point in the signs and silly costumes in the face of these real-world, serious problems?"
That is certainly a valid question. There are a lot of things happening right now that deserve to be seriously, intelligently considered. Everyone should be looking at these things for themselves and asking very real, very difficult questions.
It is hard work. And everyone needs to be doing it.
But not everyone realizes that, or has that awareness. Not everyone knows how to start the process of asking these questions. Awareness events are a way for people to approach these conversations safely and engagingly.
The more people who can get involved, the more impact these events can have. It is not about an immediate result.
It is about showing solidarity, being involved in the preservation of what is important to all of us.
As a community. United.
"One light feeds another.
One strong family lends strength to more.
One engaged community can ignite those around it. This is the power of the light we carry."
– Michelle Obama
