So many people ask us why. Why do you protest? What's the point? Why does it even matter?

It matters. A lot. You may not have experienced it yet, but left unchecked injustice will eventually come for all of us.

Don't wait. Do something. ❤️

Bakersfield showed up today.

Along with millions (yes, millions) of people across the country, you took to the streets to make your voice heard.

Nearly 1,000 people gathered, standing together in defense of democracy, civil rights, and the future we believe in.

Thank you for being part of this.

Bakersfield, you showed up!

25+ progressive organizations joined Rep. Ro Khanna for a Benefits Over Billionaires Town Hall—uniting to demand change.

This isn’t just about politics. It’s about humanity.

We’re organizing to build a future rooted in justice, compassion, and care for one another.

“The power to change this country is in this room and in rooms like this across the country.” Congressman @jimmygomezca

Townhall meeting in Bakersfield saw a great turnout. Healthcare and potential Medicaid cuts were at the forefront of discussion.

Organize and fight back! #CADEM #Medicaid

Californians refuse to stay silent while billionaires get tax breaks at the expense of our most vulnerable communities!

Our healthcare system is on the line, and we must fight to protect it. Stand with us and defend our communities! #HandsOffOurHealthcare #ProtectOurCommunities #HealthcareForAll

We are. ❤️

No VA layoffs! Veterans standing outside the local VA clinic in Bakersfield, CA.

They stand in solidarity with Veterans at 50 state capitals nationwide to protest cuts, layoffs, and the attack on democracy.

They deserve Better.
