San Rafael Kick Out the Clowns: End The Greatest Shit Show on Earth

“If every Deadhead voted, the country would be a different place.” – Hunter S. Thompson

San Rafael Kick Out the Clowns: A People’s Circus for Justice
Red Noses On. Dead Set Playing. The Resistance Rolls In.

On June 14, while Donald Trump throws himself a wannabe dictator parade in DC, we’ll gather in San Rafael to honor democracy, community, and creative resistance—with a Deadhead-style circus of our own.

This is our time to turn up the music, the mischief, and the meaning. We’ll wear red noses in tribute to Wavy Gravy, dance to the music of the Grateful Dead, and turn downtown into a People’s Ring of Resistance. Inspired by the Merry Pranksters, fueled by civic spirit, we’ll make satire our sharpest tool.

This event is part of the national Kick Out the Clowns day of action from Women’s March—but here in Marin, we’re bringing Deadhead energy to democracy-building.

Hosted by California Progress, Seniors for Peace, and the Aspen Organizing Project, this circus will feature political theater, music, community storytelling, and bold costumes that say: we’re not clowns—we’re voters, builders, and dreamers.

WHEN: Saturday, June 14 at 2:00 PM
WHERE: San Rafael Plaza, 1000 4th Street, San Rafael, CA
