No Kings Day in Chico!
There has been some confusion about the events planned for October 18th for No Kings 2. There are in fact two different events planned that day! Think of it this way: This is No Kings 2 . We want to bring the energy of the first No Kings event and DOUBLE it. We want MORE people to feel safe and included. We want the energy of 2 events for No Kings 2 .
