Yes California made its appearance known on the national stage in the wake of Donald Trump’s apparent victory in the US presidential election. The organization, formally referred to as “Yes California Independence Committee PAC,” is launching a bid for California’s departure from the United States of America.

Yes California states that “[being] a U.S. state is no longer serving California’s best interests. On issues ranging from peace and security to natural resources and the environment, it has become increasingly true that California would be better off as an independent country.”

At the time of publication (3:15 AM CT, November 9, 2016) , we’re still learning more about Yes California and will follow up.
