As a reminder, this is a peaceful, non-violent event.


On June 14, we united 20k people to stand proudly together in our community, to protect everyone, and defend our democracy, in a joyful, powerful 7 mile line of solidarity. We told the world NO KINGS, and we're doing it again!

We are back to do it again on Labor Day 2025, expanding our rally this time to 17 miles of
El Camino Real, from Redwood City down to Santa Clara, along the south side sidewalk once again.

On September 1, we will continue the movement we launched together this year, standing in solidarity with all our communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all our people. Together we will demand a world that works for all of us.

Please note: A core principle behind all our 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. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.


OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:

--Stop the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration.

--Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.

--Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all.

--Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.

--Invest in people not wars.
