The GOAL is for Marin County to make history on March 28 for No Kings 3! At over 20 locations throughout the county, freedom-loving patriots like all of you will hopefully show up in full strength to demonstrate and say: IN AMERICA, WE HAVE NO KINGS.
We had over 10K protestors at No Kings 2 and we want to exceed that number. Will you help us reach the goal by signing up today and then inviting 3 friends to also sign up. 1) Choose a site on MOBILIZE, 2) sign up to help our dedicated organizers better plan, and 3) share with your friends the Mobilize link to the location you have chosen and ask them to join you!
We have a unique plan for HIGH VISIBILITY IN MARIN. 20 highly visible protest sites across Marin County will light up with protestors in concert and asa unified force. Additionally, in the spirit of galvanizing people to power the NOKINGS movement, a handful of local grassroots activists and leaders will create a “Roving Rally” effect—traversing in decorated trucks across the various sites to “pop up” and deliver inspiring speeches, share calls to action, and demonstrate that when we come together, Marin stands stronger.
Here’s what to know and how to plan:
FIRST - Choose your NO KINGS site!
Rather than one large gathering at the Civic Center, this will be a countywide mobilization consisting of 20+ live protest sites at highly visible and active locations throughout Marin.These sites will each light up with protestors at or near the same time. You can choose a site near you on MOBILIZE.
WHY 20+ sites? Because Marin is geographically spread out, a coalition of grassroots organizers are strategizing and coordinating together to implement a “distributed” day of action with these goals in mind:
Create a highly visible, unified critical mass action all across Marin, capturing the eyes and attention of less engaged residents
Think of it like a ribbon of protestors strewn all across the county!
You won’t be able to drive anywhere in Marin without seeing NO KINGS action!
Amplify our NO KINGS! NO ICE! NO WAR! message
Inspire others in Marin to join our people-powered NO KINGS movement, use their voice, and push back on the lawlessness and cruelty of the Trump regime!
We’re stronger together, and when others see you take action, you inspire others to do the same!
SECOND - Twist a few arms 😉 and strongly encourage at least three people to join you at a site on March 28:
Help us achieve Marin’s 3.5% population peaceful protest number. Learn more about the 3.5% Rule
Have conversations with friends, family members, neighbors, others to share what you’re doing - encourage them to make a sign and just show up - it’s that simple!
Indivisible National is even hosting an upcoming free virtual Community Call on how to do just that:
THIRD - Make a plan:
Make your sign! Consider asking friends to join you for a small-group sign-making get-together at your place on Friday eve! Site hosts will also each have a small stash of “NO KINGS” protest signs to share which will be first come, first serve.
Plan to get loud and proud!
Wear a costume. Bring noise makers! (Cow bells, whistles, kazoos, paddle drums, etc.) - whatever helps generate enthusiasm and amplify your voice!
We encourage those with trucks to decorate them with NO KINGS! NO ICE! NO WARS! messaging or signs, American flags, and other PRO Democracy paraphernalia and drive throughout the county, pass the various site locations, honk, and generate enthusiasm with protestors and others. Let’s really show the Trump regime that in Marin, there are NO KINGS! Write us at info@indivisiblemarin.org if you would like suggestions/tips on truck decorating.
Plan to carpool, rideshare, walk or bike to your site.
Be sure to look up in advance where you can park near your site if you plan to drive.
Plan for your own comfort
Use the bathroom before leaving the house
Bring something to drink to stay hydrated
Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather
Bring a foldout chair or mobility aid if standing for an hour or more is difficult

PLEASE NOTE:
This is a no-host event. An ad hoc group of citizen volunteers are facilitating this opportunity for Marin residents to peacefully and safely assemble in line with their First Amendment rights.
A core principle behind all No Kings and Marin protest events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
All participants agree to assume 100% responsibility for their own safety, conduct and well-being. Please review this guide, “How To Protest Safely” in advance.
LET'S SHOW UP IN HUGE NUMBERS, MARIN! NO KINGS! NO ICE! NO WAR!
