Over 1,000 Join Fresno and Clovis 'No Kings' Protests Saturday
More than 1,000 residents gathered in Fresno near Fashion Fair Mall on Shaw Avenue and along the Clovis Old Town Trail on Saturday, October 17, for the fourth nationwide wave of "No Kings" demonstrations. Organized by Central Valley Indivisible, the rallies focused on voter turnout ahead of midterm elections while protesting increased ICE operations in the region since early October. At least 10 similar demonstrations took place across the Central Valley, including in Merced, Madera, and Visalia, joining over 3,000 rallies nationwide. Fresno-area Congressman Jim Costa attended the local rally, where attendees raised concerns about accountability, affordability, and the Iran war.
