Thank you for those that came out to protest in Modesto!
August 24th, Modesto, CA
#DefendModesto - Come Crash the Fash
- Join us to crash the bigoted "Straight Pride Parade" (location of bigoted event unknown at this time, will update):
- Stand up against homophobia, transphobia, and against white supremacy by crashing the straight "pride" parade in Modesto, CA on August 24th at 11:30 am - ???
- UPDATE 8/23/19: Modesto comrades held a press conference against any possible straight pride parade on 8/22 and far right agitators crashed this press conference. If you can come out to Modesto tomorrow, please do, now is the time to stand with community members against hate!

- To volunteer you and your car as a carpool from the Fresno/Clovis area to Modesto and back, please email us at [email protected]! We need people and their cars!
- The permit/insurance for this fash event was rejected, however, the fash says they will still show up in Modesto regardless. We are planning to travel to Modesto in case the fash show up. Here's a news story from 4 days ago where the fash say it's happening, permit or no permit. https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/video/4144787-organizer-maintains-there-will-be-a-straight-pride-event-in-modesto/?fbclid=IwAR2CTjYqxm73Z8MDZ9eVzCAH6kLheHTryjhCuKqiT4SAr7T2EuvVLInptLY
We hope to see you all out there!
