No Kings Protest in Santa Cruz was huge and all peaceful! I've lived here for 13 years and have never seen this kind of turnout for anything before. Im proud of my town!

The fight against fascism is alive and well. Keep it up y'all! #nokings

We will not cower, even in the face of Trump’s militarized escalation.

On Saturday, we are going to rise up all across the country in defiance of this administration’s authoritarian agenda.

‘An attack on science’: UC, California fight Trump cuts to NIH research funding
