Awesome! We had a huge turn out in south county at Baptist Church & Lindbergh. It was peaceful and a wide range of ages-young kids, teens, to Vietnam Veterans. Lots of honking and support. 🇺🇸

We were there with you, Fred! More honks of solidarity than FUs from the drivers passing by. Plus many of the drivers had signs of protest, so if you count all of the cars, the numbers were much higher!

Thank you for affirming an open, diverse, equitable, and inclusive social order. DEI will be a continuing part of our social order. We are one human family. We need a positive tone from the top. We need peace at home and abroad. End the wars. Stop arming Israel. Stop the genocide. Free Palestine!!

May courage rise in the hearts of our voices, guided not by fear, but by truth and understanding.

May wisdom guide our words to hold firm those to account for their actions done in bad faith.

Choose justice over obedience, remembering our forefathers gave their lives to the Constitution, and not for power.

In every step, in every voice, may we lead with integrity and honor.

As, our children will be watching us.

🍁 Elbows UP! 🏒 T - 1

All week there have been hundreds of thousands protesting against the Trump Regime's illegal activities:

It's blatent disregard for putting most American lives in harm's way through para-military engagement of civilians, their disappearences, and the suspension of national medical programs.

It's destruction of our economy, causing widespread losses of personal savings, pensions, social security, and our ability to make a living, through psudo-economic policies that make no sense and have led to hyper inflation and the devaluation of the US dollar.

Advocation of Trump's own legal accountability to the courts, and our own choices for local government.

We are here,

No Kings Day Saturday June 14th 2025

Find a protest near you:

KEEP PROTESTS PEACEFULL

Use signage and messaging to make your numbers visible.

- stop H.R.1 or the Big Beautiful Bill

- demand the constitution be reveered and not perverted

- reinstate respect for the rule of law

- call for an end to his divisiveness

The best way to protest against the military parade is not to be in Washington DC - so that only crickets are there.

All of this will show the courts and our leaders the destruction of our society by Trump is unwarranted, and contrary to the values America was founded on. Show there is no justifiable reason for it.

Don't kill anyone.
