DAVIS, Calif. — Building on the momentum of the first Yolo “No Kings” march and rally that drew more than 4,000 participants in June, Indivisible Yolo and the Davis Phoenix Coalition will host a second countywide event on Oct. 18 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Civic Center Park at 6th and B streets in Davis.
Themed “We the People,” the rally is part of a nationwide mobilization expected to draw more than five million participants across the country, as demonstrators gather to oppose Trump administration policies and affirm that America remains a democracy.
The event will begin with a march from Civic Center Park through downtown Davis, looping back to the park for a rally at about 2:30 p.m. featuring Yolo County speakers.
“This movement is only getting bigger and stronger,” said Steve Murphy, co-chair of Indivisible Yolo. “As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, we the people are uniting to remind the world that America doesn’t do kings. The power belongs to the people — and here in Yolo County, that means our students, our workers, our university community, our immigrant community, our LGBTQ+ community and more. This march and rally will unite folks from Davis, Woodland, Esparto, Winters, West Sacramento and beyond to demand our rights, insist on economic opportunity and protect our communities.”
Partner organizations include Sister District Yolo, Davis College Democrats, Democratic Socialists of America — Yolo, SEIU, UC Davis Faculty Association, and the Yolo County Democratic Party, among others.
Indivisible Yolo is the local chapter of the nationwide grassroots Indivisible movement. Its mission is to promote progressive policies by mobilizing residents to engage in democracy at every level of government through advocacy and electoral work.

The Davis Phoenix Coalition works to build a community “where all people are safe, respected and free from violence.” The organization focuses on eliminating intolerance, preventing hate, and promoting civic engagement in support of Davis’s diverse population.

The emperor may have no clothes, but The King may have just achieved some degree of peace in the Middle East.
But of course the real King is Elvis. And Elvis was Jewish. Not kidding. Google it. King of the Jews*
*Note: stolen from Lewis Black.
The king has solved several crises this year and brought peace.
But the Nobel Peace Prize went to some South American women that no one has heard of because of the left’s hatred of Trump. Funny, remember when Obama won the award for bringing peace to the world? Or was it because he’s half black?
I see that Venezuelan María Corina Machado dedicated her Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump. What a classy move on her part, she knows who the rightful recipient should’ve been.
I thought you surely must be joking. You are not.
I was in a Zoom meeting with left-leaning, pro-Israel Jews recently. Some of them I think it broke their brain that Trump brokered this. They just couldn’t reconcile.
The deadline for nominations was prior to trumps recent successes.
