UKIAH, CA., 8/29/25 — During Tuesday’s evening rush hour, about 60 protesters lined East Perkins Street near Hospital Drive waving signs and chanting. Cars often honked, people waved, and the protesters bobbed their signs and cheered.
The protest was intended to show disapproval of the recent federal reconciliation bill, aka the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which cuts more than a trillion dollars in federal Medicaid spending over the next 10 years, according to the Center for American Progress.
