Bakersfield isn’t just red—it’s unshakable. In the heart of California’s Central Valley, conservatives are mobilizing like never before. This is a city that refuses to bend to the California coastal left, and 2025 has proven that Bakersfield fights back, loud and proud.
Charlie Kirk Assassination Sparks Outrage
September 2025 rocked Kern County. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Bakersfield didn’t cower. Hundreds gathered at Polo Community Park for a “Freedom of Speech” vehicle parade, honoring Kirk and protesting attacks on the First Amendment.
Pastor Angelo Frazier led the event, emphasizing defending constitutional rights. A vigil in southwest Bakersfield drew hundreds more, showing the community’s commitment to conservative values and respect for Kirk’s influence.
ROXXR Suspended: Conservative Voices Silenced
Amid coverage of these events, ROXXR was suspended, effectively silencing local voices advocating for freedom of speech. Readers report posts being deleted under false pretenses of “not local” or “national politics.” One user submitted:
“Jeffrey, There’s an organized oppression group based in Bakersfield censoring your local posts on Nextdoor. I managed to see one before it got deleted. Harassment and federal conspiracy against rights by this group. Should get them for all their worth. I had my local posts about acknowledging Charlie Kirk by our local schools and students removed as well for false ‘not local’ and ‘national politics’ reasons.”
This confirms that organized efforts are actively suppressing conservative commentary in the community, attempting to mute the truth about local activism and advocacy.
Conservative Organizations in Action
The Greater Bakersfield Republican Assembly (GBRA), described as “Kern County’s answer to the House Freedom Caucus,” continues to drive local conservative activism. Their October 9, 2025 meeting at Hodel’s Country Dining is set to rally the most committed local conservatives.
The Bakersfield Republican Women, Federated (BRWF) hosted a Republican Unity Mixer on September 19, 2025, strengthening community engagement and solidarity among conservatives.
California Republican Assembly: Statewide Influence
The California Republican Assembly (CRA) will hold its Biennial Convention September 26–28, 2025, in Anaheim, featuring speakers including Assemblyman Stan Ellis and State Senator Shannon Grove, highlighting Bakersfield’s role in shaping statewide conservative policy.
Bakersfield: Red, Loud, Unstoppable
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has galvanized Bakersfield. Conservative groups are mobilized, voters energized, and the community united in defense of constitutional rights. Bakersfield remains the pulse of conservative America in California—unyielding, unapologetic, unstoppable.
