Saturday, 10-18- No Kings Rally, 10-11 AM, in person, Refugio Park (Hercules). “
Join us for our No Kings Rally in Hercules as we unite in a chorus of people power: there are No Kings In America!
We rose up once, and on October 18 we’ll rise again—because one national day of action isn’t enough to protect our democracy.
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS nonviolent movement continues to grow stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.
We will make this a day of joy because protecting democracy should be celebrated.
10 AM – Peace and Freedom Rally We will have speakers including elected officials join us – including our supervisor who represents us on the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors, Shanelle Scales-Preston, and other fabulous local voices! This rally event in Hercules is limited to 99 people, so register soon!” (https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/848354/)
Saturday, 10-18- No Kings Protest, 11 AM-12:30 PM, in person, intersection of Sycamore and San Pablo (Hercules). This event is not space-limited, unlike the rally, and signs are welcome! “
The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
You are welcome to wear royal blue to represent the Blue Coats who stood firm against the Red Coats, and a colonial tri-corner hat! Colonial cosplay welcome!
Parking for peaceful protest: Please park on Sycamore Avenue (toward Aventine Apartments) and avoid parking in the business parking lots.
This event is organized by Indivisible North East Bay. We are an activist community empowering people in Hercules, Rodeo, Pinole, Crockett, Port Costa, and beyond!
