The “New California,” movement — launched to little fanfare in 2016 — made a splash in the news Tuesday thanks to the issuance of a public “declaration of independence” on Monday calling for the formation of a 51st state in the U.S.

A fresh effort is underway to split California into multiple states, one including its coastal cities and the other its rural and inland areas.

“New California is a new state in development by egregiously aggrieved Californians exercising our Constitutional right to form a new state separate from the tyranny and lawlessness of the state of California,” the group’s Facebook Page says.
