About this April 5 event

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They’re taking everything they can get their hands on, claiming anything standing in their way is illegal, and daring the American people to stop them.

On Saturday, April 5, we’re taking to the streets nationwide to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!

This event is being organized by MoveOn, Public Citizen, Stand Up America, and the Not Above the Law Coalition in support of the Hands Off day of action and future actions. [from mobilize.us]

CORRECTION: Big week for Benicia activists

PICK A PROTEST!

…OR GO TO A BUNCH OF ‘EM!

Please note, the April 3 Benicia protest is on a THURSDAY (not Wednesday). And on EVERY Thursday, 5PM. Sorry for previous error. 

The Orange Guy and his minions aren’t the only ones who can pour it on with a gazillion acts in every direction almost daily. Resisters all over the U.S. are organizing, showing up, using our individual and collective voices, and creatively calling attention to the crisis that is tearing down our government and attacking our friends and neighbors.

Let’s all find a time this week to join in saying no to injustice, no to corruption, no to authoritarian rule, no to Kings! See below:

Longtime Benicia activist calls for weekly protests

SUSAN STREET – WE NEED TO GATHER EVERY THURSDAY AGAIN!

Beginning April 3 . . .

VIGIL FOR DEMOCRACY

Every Thursday, 5-6:30 p.m.
On the sidewalk by the Gazebo

 
[map / directions]
Come whenever you can, stay as long or as briefly as you can. Bring your signs, bells, kazoos, noisemakers. Invite ten people to join us.
Stay on the sidewalk. Don’t block anyone attempting to walk through. Ignore any harassment.x

WHY DO THIS?

As Timothy Snyder has said, “When strange things happen and nobody reacts, that’s ‘normalizing.’”
Folks gathering and  making noise “arrests people’s attention, makes them stop and think.”
Make noise. What’s happening isn’t normal. Isn’t democracy.
