Nearly 1,000 people gathered at Main Beach in Santa Cruz, California on Saturday for a proud protest to directly target President Donald Trump.

Participants formed a huge human banner spelled "Resistance!" as part of the demonstration held in the indivisible Santa Cruz County, rainbow-colored colors.

Long-time left-wing activist Brad Newsham designed a 220-foot-wide display with a letter reaching 70 feet.

Organizers described the incident as a peaceful act of resistance and showed solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.

"It is very important that (who) can show our neighbors, the world's politicians, is a way to express our dissatisfaction with the progress of the country," event organizer Becca Moeller said.

But above the colorful banner is a very different message: "86 47", a call that was interpreted as "get rid of" the 47th President of the United States.

In the words, "86" usually means canceling, eliminating or even destroying. The number "47" now related to President Trump's second term, a quote has raised an alarm among critics who say it crossed a line.

Earlier this month, former FBI Director James Comey posted similar information on the beach, but they were not kelp, but shells. He has since removed his post after extensive criticism and action by law enforcement.

"We don't need a king. We want to go back to our own appearance. We want to be America again," protester Beth Basilius said.

While the event advocates “kindness” and inclusion, the image tells a more contradictory story.

"They claimed they wanted to be the American 'genre' again, but then they spelled '86 47' in the sand. It's not kindness - it's a coded call to remove people they disagree with. It's hypocritical."

Lelieur said local conservatives face increasing hostility from the political left.

"We've destroyed the vehicle, the tires were cut off, the windows were broken. I was forced to go on the road, just attacked because of Trump's stickers. At our joint observation party, we were stuck in trouble by angry protesters. It was unwelcome hostilities. It was the same person calling themselves a "peace party."

According to the latest data from the California Secretary of State, only 8.5% of voters in Santa Cruz are registered Republicans.

Despite a message written on the beach, some participants insisted that the demonstrations were derived from compassion.

"We want to go back to our own. We want to be America again," protester Beth Basilius said.

Protest supporters claimed that “86 47” was a symbolic rejection of Trump’s agenda rather than a literal threat. But critics say the arguments are flat in the political climate, and the coding language has real-world consequences.

“In California, especially in Santa Cruz County, the left is creating a political environment that is not accepted and persecuted,” said Daniel Enriquez, a representative of the Republican Congress of California. “This is consistent with the goals of the socialist movement throughout history.”

Indivisible Santa Cruz County co-leader Jenny Evans defended the event.

She said: "When a lot of people come out and do something like this, it's just one thing, showing that not all of us are saying, 'Good, good. We'll do whatever we want.'

The event is also part of the 50th Pride Celebration held in Santa Cruz. Participants were instructed to wear matching rainbow colors, coordinated fabrics arranged on the beach starting at 7 a.m.

The protest was peaceful, but critics said the call for kindness in the display of “86 47” was conveyed a message.
