Fight The Trump Takeover!

Over 130 citizens showed up in Placerville on Saturday, August 16, to demonstrate in support of the Texas Democrats’ efforts to “Stop the Trump Takeover” and Texas redistricting.

Protesters gathered at the Court House in downtown Placerville and some held signs on the Bedford overpass. Patriotic music from a boom box created a fun and happy atmosphere as evidenced by the smiles on the protesters.

Indivisible El Dorado Chair Joel Ellinwood commented, “We agree with Governor Newsom. California needs to fight fire with fire to counter the Texas GOPs following Trump’s orders.”

In contrast, California Congressional redistricting to gain 5 seats for Democrats complies with the Voting Rights Act, will have to be voter approved, and only becomes effective if the Texas illegal gerrymander goes into effect after anticipated court challenges.

Indivisible El Dorado’s over 2,000 members strongly support the Election Rigging Response Act. "We will be organizing to assure its passage,” emphasized Ellinwood.
