Families showed up in Sacramento to support Nick Shirley and push back on AB 2624, a law that restricts public discussion of nonprofits and tax spending. The crowd includes both Democrats and Republicans frustrated with what they're calling cover-ups of fraudulent organizations. The movement is explicitly targeting politicians like Gavin Newsom, Sheng Thao, Mia Bonta, and Rob Bonta for allegedly protecting bad actors behind legislation Shirley's supporters view as a gag order on government accountability. Whether you buy the framing or not, this is grassroots pressure on state-level speech restrictions and nonprofit oversight. That part matters regardless of who Nick Shirley is.
