Please support our movement!
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 and to act lawfully at our event. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to the event.

They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, slashed our services, and threw out our senator Padilla out of the news conference. The corruption has gone too far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings. No Dungeons.
Wear costume and/or YELLOW, it's almost Halloween!
Thank you for joining our #NoKings of Defiance. We all have reasons why we attend these protests, and are emotional. However it is critical for us to stay non-violent. It means that you will bring best of you to our events. It is not where you release your anger. We are here to stand united for democracy. Please help keep our event peaceful and joyful!

The history of Federal Women's Prison aka FCI Dublin is dark and shameful. It was closed in April 2024 following lawsuits, whistleblower reports and inspections that revealed rampant sexual violence, mold, asbestos and sewage leaks. All signs point to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) preparing to take over the prison to house immigrant detainees — despite toxic living conditions. Don't condition of the prison and how ICE treats people remind you dungeons? And it is the last thing we want in the Tri-Valley area. That is why we decided to add #NoDungeons.
First we thank the City of Pleasanton and Pleasanton Police Department for allowing us to express our freedom of speech and peaceful assembly to rally.
Special thanks goes to our speakers and Peacekeepers! Both Congress member Eric Swalwell and Assemblymember Liz Ortega came from previous engagement to attend ours. We appreciate your presence and services!
