ABOUT 200 GATHERED ON FLAG DAY IN BENICIA, JUNE 14, TO OPPOSE AUTHORITARIAN RULE

JUNE 14—Trump’s Birthday,
The president celebrated and promoted himself
by giving Ultimate Fighting Championship
unfettered access to the White House and Lincoln Memorial
to stage a private, for-profit sports event.

JUNE 14—Flag Day
We supported the republic for which the flag stands. . .
Where power flows from the people,
Where leaders are accountable to the Constitution.

It was festive and encouraging, but we’re not done yet. The danger is real, and we’re in it for the long haul. We will lift every voice in the struggle to save our Democracy – we will continue the momentum. Benicia Standing Strong!

BENICIA NO KINGS RALLY! Sunday June 14, 12-2PM, See you there!

Susan Street at a Thursday Rally

No doubt you have been overwhelmed with political information and hounded by organizations and individuals for money. Here’s a way to support your beliefs and show your disgust at the current political situation for free!

Join us every Thursday evening from 5-6 – Rally for Democracy at the Benicia Gazebo, First St. and Military Ave. Bring your friends and a poster if you have one. We have lots to lend if you don’t. And bring noisemakers, whistles or horns. It feels great to support democracy, meet some new friends, and leave your computers and phones at home! See you there!
