I counted 132 people attending the protest today (2025-04-05) in Ridgecrest, California, on the sidewalk at the town's main intersection. There was a lot of supportive honking of horns and thumbs up from vehicles driving by.
Ridgecrest is a red town, with a population of about 28,000 people, in a very red county (these are the people who elected Kevin McCarthy as their representative).
