Dear Members of Congress, We, the undersigned 1,025 organizations, write to express our horror, outrage and deep grief about the news that federal agents have executed a human being in broad daylight on the streets of Minneapolis.

On Saturday October 18th, more than 45,000 people throughout Orange County joined in 10 rallies and protests to say “No Kings” in OC and America. Participants included people from all walks of life, with diversity in age, ethnicity, religious affiliation, and political orientation.

“No Kings” protests throughout Orange County attracted thousands of people on Saturday, speaking out against President Donald Trump’s leadership and ongoing immigration raids throughout the country.

On Saturday, October 18, more than 12,000 Orange County residents gathered at Centennial Park in Santa Ana to join a nationwide wave of protests opposing what organizers called Donald Trump’s “fascist power grab.” The NO KINGS demonstration was one of over 2,700 events held across all 50 states and territories, drawing millions of participants.

Thousands of people rallied in Santa Ana and a host of cities across Orange County alongside a slew of “Hands Off” protests across Southern California, all part of a nationwide action protesting the Trump Administration.

The once solidly Republican bastion in southern California is up for grabs, and Democrats are campaigning hard.
