No Kings Rallies Planned In Pleasanton, Livermore

PLEASANTON, CA — "No Kings" rallies protesting Pres. Trump's policies are planned for Saturday in Pleasanton and Livermore.

The Pleasanton rally will take place at Pleasanton Tennis and Community Park at 5801 Valley Avenue at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

In addition to bringing signs, guests are encouraged to wear costumes. The rally, one of thousands planned around the country, will feature remarks from California Assemblymember Liz Ortega, a local nurse, performer Morgan Finley King, Marian Peterson, and Rosa Lopez, the wife Miguel Lopez, a Livermore resident deported by ICE.

There will also be tables to make signs, participate in a community art project, register to vote, get shirts and merchandise from Indivisible Tri-Valley, and learn more about local political activism.

"On October 18 we gather peacefully and say #NoKings. The president may think his rule is absolute. But in America, we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty," organizer Swing Left said in a statement.

The Livermore rally is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Portola Park. See here to register.

Rallies are planned all across the Bay Area and country Saturday, including in Hayward, Union City, San Leandro, Walnut Creek, Tracy, Oakland, Berkeley, and many more.
