| October 11, 2025, Point Arena, California |
I was struck this weekend by reports of "No Kings" rallies in northern California, including the region referred to as the "North Bay," including Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino County. What's striking, of course, is that rural areas are reputedly conservative. That said, coastal California is certainly more progressive than the interior parts of the state. (This point is well illustrated by recent debates of redistricting in California and Proposition 50, which will link these parts of the North Bay with uber-rich and uber-progressive Marin County, just north of San Francisco). The photos in this post I took on October 11 in the town of Point Arena, in coastal Mendocino County.
Here are the places listed in The Press-Democrat (based in Sonoma County but also covering Napa and Mendocino counties) where "No Kings" rallies were held on Saturday:
