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.
IN AMERICA, WE DON'T DO KINGS.
IN AMERICA, WE DON'T DO KINGS.
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.

Why No Dungeons?
Why No Dungeons?
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.
