LOCAL PROTEST REMINDERS

LOTS OF EAST BAY OPTIONS!

SATURDAY, MARCH 28th

NO KINGS 3 MARCH

KICK OFF RALLIES:

CONCORD, SUNVALLEY BLVD. 10:30 AM

PLEASANT HILL CITY HALL, 11:30 AM

SOLIDARITY SPAN, 12:30 - 2:00 PM

(human chain Pleasant Hill to Walnut Creek)

ORGANIZED BY:

• INDIVISIBLE RESISTERS CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
• COMMIT TO DEMOCRACY
• LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
• INDIVISIBLE PLEASANT HILL

Come out with friends and family for this peaceful demonstration to show that in the U.S., we have no kings, dictators or despots. Last October, close to 8,000 people showed up to No Kings in Walnut Creek and more than 2,000 people demonstrated in downtown Pleasant Hill. Let’s make it even bigger in 2026!

The plan is to hold kick-off rallies in Concord near Sunvalley Blvd. at 10:30 a.m. and Pleasant Hill City Hall at 11:30 a.m.

After the rallies, protestors will head to their SOLIDARITY SPAN Honk & Wave spots starting by 12:30 p.m. and continuing until 2 p.m. 

We will form a human chain (without holding hands) from Sunvalley Shopping Center to Broadway Plaza in Walnut Creek. Picture a long, continuous, enthusiastic line of protestors all the way down Contra Costa Blvd and Main Street. Sign up for a spot along the span. Plan to bring friends, signs, lawn chairs, and even a picnic lunch if you like! It’s like setting up along a parade route. We will have a sound truck driving by to pump everyone up, along with the honking of passing cars. If you have a larger group, you can adopt a whole block and have a theme or anything creative, safe, and fun you’d like to organize for your block.

It’s vital that you show up and be part of No Kings 3

Let's reach the tipping point of RESISTANCE!

World BEYOND War has

a DIVESTMENT campaign!

About the Campaign

Grassroots-led war divestment campaigns are springing up all over the world, from students organizing to divest university endowments, to municipalities and states coming together to divest public pension funds. Divestment means organizing to remove public and private assets from weapons manufacturers, military contractors, and war profiteers.

Public pension and retirement funds especially are often invested, directly and indirectly, in weapons companies. Teachers and other public servants whose interests lie with promoting human needs have their retirement security tied up with maintaining or enlarging the war industry. Every dollar currently invested in weapons and war is a dollar that could be better spent on job creation, education, housing, healthcare, food security, and so much more.

War profiteering is largely normalized today. We’re working to stigmatize the war machine. World BEYOND War assists divestment campaigns led by our chapters, affiliates, other coalitions, and individuals around the world.
