REEDLEY – As the third wave of No Kings protests swept the nation, community members gathered in Reedley to take a stand against the current administration.
On March 28, protesters occupied all four corners of the intersection at Manning and Reed avenues, waving signs with messages surrounding immigration enforcement, the conflict in Iran and the current state of democracy. According to headcounts done by a volunteer every 15-30 minutes, the protest saw more than 100 participants at its peak.
