What we are doing on June 14
Where to go, when to be there, how to prepare — and why
This is a national day of action. Multiple organizations are declaring that this day must not honor the clowns in DC. Join us as we loudly say there are no kings in our country — and we don’t want their clowns, either!
Santa Rosa
The theme of this protest seems lightweight to some of us. It’s not.
Indivisible National points out that we do not have a king. We do not give unlimited power to one person to rule over us. And we know, here in Sonoma County, that it’s not only one man in the White House that’s our problem. There’s this whole group of enablers and boot lickers who prop that man up and use him as a tool to get what they really want — a country that runs as a religio-fascistic state; an autocratic state that will control every aspect of our lives and our government; a country of the rich, by the rigid, for the few.
This is not the country previous generations fought to build. This is not the country that listens to the better angels of our nature. And that’s why we roundly reject what they want to impose on us — all those clowns that think they can take over our country.
You don’t have to look too far to see what their purpose is. They turn us against each other.
Their masked thugs invade our neighborhoods and businesses, targeting people with dark skins. They are careless about rights and laws.
When confronted, they lie.
Our power comes from our determination to stand together. To resist. To be strong.
We show our strength every week, and we demonstrate our determination when we come together to protest.
ICE is in our community. But it isn’t only ICE we are fighting. We are fighting for the rights of every person living in our country. We are fighting for our dignity, our health, our children, our planet, and our future.
Each protest you attend is important. The Santa Rosa protest on June 14 will be the most visible protest to date. That’s why we’re on Farmers Lane, one of the busiest streets in Santa Rosa — a Federal highway that runs through our heart.
Bring your solidarity. Bring your outrage. Bring your determination.
In Santa Rosa - 11a to 1p along Farmers Lane.
Here’s a color-coded map of where we will be. We’ve marked areas of available parking.
Here’s a map of the bus routes that serve Sonoma Ave., Montgomery, and Farmers Lane.
We’ve had a lot of questions — and we have answers. If you are still looking for more information, read this FAQ.
Veterans will stand with us!
This truly is a somber moment in our country. The current president is attempting to corrupt the military, just as he’s attempting to corrupt every other part of our government.
If you want to stand with the veterans, join them (and all the rest of us). West side of Farmers Lane, north of Hoen.
Some of us have wheels
Or a walker.
If this is you, and you are looking for a place to park, or a place to protest, we have you covered.
The Church of the Roses will allow anyone with a placard to park in their lot (at Patio and Hahman). This convenient location is just one block east of a shady spot on the east side of Farmers Lane, very close to Carl’s Jr. We’re asking that this area be set aside for those who need shelter from the sun and who use mobility devices.
Carl’s Jr. has agreed to allow protesters to have access to the bathrooms. And if you are thirsty or hungry, well, there they are!
Looking for a different place to attend a protest?
By now, we’ve probably all heard the 3.5% rule — that making a real change to what’s going on in our country will require that 3.5% of all of us are protesting. Some people want bigger and bigger protests — people pouring into the streets, stopping traffic, getting arrested, day after day after day.
I get it. So do you. Maybe that even stirs your blood.
But I’m for more protests. In your neighborhood. With your neighbors. All of them.
All of us, taking responsibility for what is happening.
All of us, saying NO. NOT HERE.
There are more No Kings protests than there were on April 5 - HANDS OFF, which was the largest mass mobilization so far. If you find yourself close to any of these communities — there’s a protest just asking you to join in.
Many people want the biggest mass protest. We want many. Let’s have protests in every community, at every crossroads. Because what’s happening in our country isn’t only affecting cities, and it doesn’t only hurt immigrants. Or the old, or poor. It hurts us all, over and over. One big protest can be stopped; many protests, all over, involving everyone, is a movement.
This is a movement. And we are part of it.
After you show up with your neighbors, remember that our nation recognizes another day of freedom on June 14 — Juneteenth. In Santa Rosa, the Juneteenth celebration will be held at Old Courthouse Square from 10 am to 6 pm. (This is the date that Texas leaders stopped lying to the people they had enslaved, and admitted Texas had lost the Civil War, and they were now free.)
In Santa Rosa - 11a to 1p along Farmer’s Lane. Here’s a color-coded map of where we will be. Most of us will be standing where the map is marked in red. We’ve set aside part of the area (marked in green!) for VETERANS and others who want to stand with the veterans.
Stand with us as we remind our leaders that the US does not have a king! Bring your brightest signs. Our task is to remind all the people driving by that our government is a farce — and we should take that seriously.
Look for the greeters (wearing tall hats) and the peace keepers (wearing orange) who will help you get where you want to be.
