Part of our League's mission is to empower voters and defend democracy through advocacy by sharing information for our community to be aware of and consider for citizen action.
We are coming together, and into the streets, on March 28 because we know that when we unite, we can overcome oppression. In America, we have No Kings. Recent attempts to concentrate power and erode fundamental freedoms have prompted people across the country to respond through morally grounded, nonviolent action. If anyone believes Americans will quietly surrender their rights, they are mistaken. Power in this country flows from the people — and together, we will make that clear.
Date: Saturday, March 28
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Location: 31st & El Camino Real (Hillsdale Mall), San Mateo
From our meeting point, those who wish will march down El Camino to Fitzgerald Field in Central Park, making a joyful, visible show of support for democracy, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the rule of law. Marchers are expected to arrive between 1:00–1:30 p.m., where an ongoing rally will feature chants, speakers, dancing, and special amphibious guests.
