COLUSA, CA (MPG) – More than 100 people gathered Saturday, March 28, in front of the Historic Colusa County Courthouse, where passing drivers honked and waved in support during a nationwide “No Kings” demonstration.
Organizers said more than 8 million people participated in over 3,300 protests across all 50 states, self-proclaiming it the largest single-day demonstration in U.S. history. Earlier events in June and October 2025 drew an estimated 5 million and 7 million participants.
The Colusa event, organized by the Colusa County Democratic Central Committee and promoted through the grassroots group Indivisible, remained peaceful as participants lined Market Street with American flags and handmade signs.
“This is a peaceful protest, which we feel is about as American as you can get,” said Ed Conrado, chair of the Colusa County Democratic Central Committee. “It’s just expressing our feelings about the way our government is being run at this point.”
Participants raised concerns about the current administration, immigration policy, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the conflict with Iran and gas prices.
Organizers said the event aimed to increase civic participation and give residents a way to express their views publicly.
