In Yolo County, We the People Rule
Are you ready to be part of our peaceful nationwide movement to take back our power and our country? All over America this Saturday will be big, joyful, and loud, with more people, in more places, bringing more signs and songs and joyful defiance than anything we’ve done before. From small rural towns, to big cities, to the swingiest of swing districts, people like you are coming together committed to non-violence and to send a singular message: No thrones. No crowns. NO KINGS.
Since our last day of nationwide protest in June, Trump and his cronies have accelerated their power-grabbing and fear-mongering because they themselves are scared. They see that, with each passing day, their authoritarian agenda becomes even more unpopular and our defiance grows even stronger.
They thought they could shred our democracy before anyone noticed or fought back. We told them HANDS OFF. Now, they think they can scare us into submission -- that we’ll bow down and give up our rights without taking a stand -- so we’re reminding them WE DON’T DO KINGS HERE.
We will meet at Civic Center Park to march in Davis streets, and then to the speakers event, where we will hear from former Davis Mayor and current city council member Gloria Partida who will be our MC. Speakers will include Congressman Mike Thompson, West Sacramento city council member Dawnte Early and others from across the Yolo county community and UC Davis.
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.
Join us. Bring a sign! Bring a friend!

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.

As of October 1, we are nearly three quarters of the way to our goal to raise the $10,000 needed to pay for all of the event expenses we anticipate. We’re using a new donor platform (Zeffy) that is more useful than our ActBlue account for a couple reasons. First, because we receive 100% of whatever you donate to us, rather than a smaller amount that is net of ActBlue and credit card processing fees. Second, because the funds received go into an account that gives us more flexibility in how they are they are spent. Zeffy is free to us but their business model is reliant on the donor paying a small fee which is similar to the Add a Tip function in ActBlue — the donor can elect to leave no tip. What’s different is that Act Blue has already recouped all of its costs by charging us for their processing fee and adding in the card processing fees.
