In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their allies.

🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re gathering and building a movement to support and strengthen our communities🚨

The flag belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

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.

Many people have asked: Why are there two marches scheduled in downtown San Diego on June 14?

It’s a great question. Yes, there are two separate marches planned that day—one starting at the Civic Center and another at Waterfront Park. Each is organized by a different group, which has caused a bit of understandable confusion.

But here’s the good news: the organizers of both marches have come together and agreed on a coordinated plan. The two marches will join forces downtown and conclude in a united rally at Waterfront Park.

It promises to be a powerful, inspiring display of unity—and I’m excited to be part of it. We’ll share more details about the routes as soon as they’re finalized.

Hope to see you there!
