NO KINGS (and no clowns either!) in Oakland!

Come to our NO KINGS event in Oakland! March with street theater + rally!

The march kicks off at 1:00 from Wilma Chan Park (810 Jackson St) - we'll march to Oscar Grant / Frank Ogawa plaza.

We recommend taking BART to Lake Merritt Station (right next to Wilma Chan Park) - parking will be challenging. Come early and go to lunch in Chinatown!

At the plaza there will be music as well as tabling from groups sponsoring the event, and the rally will begin in the 1:45-2:00 range, once the full marching group has arrived.

We'll have 5-7 speakers, and  the fabulous Francisco Herrera will MC the rally!

When you elect clowns, they don’t become leaders. The country becomes a circus. 🤡

On June 14, Donald Trump will honor himself with a four-mile military parade in our nation’s capitol. Trump’s tacky parade was inspired by dictators he idolizes, and will cost taxpayers nearly $100 million. 

Organizer and strategist Daniel Hunter has written that “Humor is important for our psyches — and to take fascists down a notch[…] Humor is key for morale and exposing the vulnerability of the strongman image.” This is where the ridiculous meets the resistance—and where the future is on the line.

June 14 is our chance to reflect the absurdity of the MAGA regime and the clowns who lead it. To meet this moment, Women’s March will host community circuses nationwide—bold, creative actions that mirror the chaos MAGA has sown across the country. Together, we’ll set a national record for the most circuses held in a single day while we simultaneously refuse to celebrate a petty clown who desperately wants to be seen as strong. We won’t stop until we build the country we all deserve.

Our grassroots street circuses turn satire into resistance and reclaim the big tent for democracy.
