Organizers across the country, including the San Francisco Bay Area, are preparing to mobilize No Kings marches Saturday to protest President Donald Trump’s policies on domestic and foreign affairs.
Cities across the Bay Area are expecting to see marches and rallies as residents prepare to voice their dissatisfaction with the Trump administration and call for more accountability from the federal government. No Kings organizers said the previous march in October mobilized over 7 million people nationwide.
San Francisco is expected to host one the region’s largest marches, beginning at noon from Sue Bierman Park near The Embarcadero and moving down Market Street toward Civic Center Plaza — where a rally follows at 2 p.m.
Oakland organizers say they will come together to say, “that America does not belong to strongmen, corrupt billionaires, or those who rule by fear.” Marchers will gather at 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza and will begin walking at 1 p.m. through downtown Oakland toward the Lake Merritt Amphitheater.
The 12th Street Oakland City Center and Lake Merritt BART stations are adjacent to the starting and ending points of the march, respectively.
