Presidents’ Day is more than mattress sales — it’s a reminder that in America we honor presidents, not dictators or kings. Celebrate our democratic republic and constitutional rights today by signing up for No Kings III Ridgecrest. On March 28th, we are join the rest of the country in a mass national protest by saying we reject the Kleptocracy and its cruel leader. Dictators have been elected in other countries. America can push to stop this from happening within our borders when the people use their 1st amendment rights to hold the government accountable. When 3.5% of the population are engaged in civil resistance, no government in history has been able to stand against the power of the people. If everyone who reads this email joins us for No Kings III, we will be at twice our goal for Ridgecrest. Join us to stop the madness.

Dump Trump Protest

Leading up to No Kings, we are having a Dump Trump protest event on 2/21 from 10am-12pm at Ridgecrest and China Lake Blvd.

Trump has lied about everything.  Voters feel betrayed.  Let’s help give them the courage to leave the abusive relationship and Dump Trump!

💰Trump is consumed with greed and has used the presidency to enrich himself by almost $4 Billion in 1 year.  He is not America First, he’s Trump First.

🛒Trump’s tariffs are a backdoor tax on Americans that have hurt small businesses, farmers, and have made groceries more expensive.  The price of eggs may have fallen but everything else is rapidly getting more expensive.  Families were hurting before and now they’re hurting more than ever.

📈 Trump said he’d reduce government spending but DOGE failed to find massive government waste fraud and abuse.  Instead, government spending increased by $248 billion and Trump’s has added$2.29 Trillion to the national debt in 1 year.  DHS is also requesting an additional $75 billion to be added to their budget.  These aren’t conservative small government values.

🌍 Trump said “no more wars” instead, Trump has expanded military involvement in Yemen, Iran, Somalia, Nigeria, and started a conflict in Venezuela.  Our allies no longer trust us for trade or with sharing intelligence.  Other countries are avoiding business with the US, as a result this has strengthened China.

🚨 He said he would deport only criminals, the “worst of the worst.” Instead, 81% of the people detained this month have no criminal history. People are being detained and deported at their immigration hearings.  These are hardworking people who pay taxes, contribute to our economy, and are unable to collect social security benefits they pay into.  Only 5% detained have a violent criminal conviction.  The actions taken by ICE aren’t about making America safer, it’s just flat out racism.  They say there aren’t enough jobs for Americans, and at the same time saying that our economy will collapse because birthrates are down.  So do we have too many people or not enough?  The answer is the Trump administration believes there isn’t enough of the “right type” of people.  ICE is nothing but tax payer funded racism.

There’s too many horrible things to list.  Bring a sign next Saturday to help bring attention to all of the corruption.

💙Support the Ridgecrest Resistance

You can support our event by donating to our GoFundMe or getting your own Ridgecrest 50501 t-shirt.  We got the first run of screen printed shirts in and they look and feel great.  I especially like how soft the long sleeve shirts are.  Sizes are true to size.
