"We are not dealing with the same deck of cards as before. Protests have to be matched with widespread noncompliance, from neighbors who shelter families from ICE raids to juries that refused to indict peaceful protesters, to the 1.7 million people who canceled their Disney+ subscriptions after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel under pressure from the Trump administration."
"Bay Area residents continue to develop the kind of day-to-day immigrant protection work that drew the eyes of the world to Minnesota. This Saturday's training will focus on organizing, direct action, strikes, boycotts, and community defense, as well as preparation for May Day actions."
The No Kings movement represents a growing anti-authoritarian protest effort that mobilized 4 million people across 800+ protests in June 2025 and 7 million protesters at 2,700 events in October. The movement combines large-scale national marches with grassroots community work, including immigrant protection initiatives. Upcoming actions include a national march on March 28 and May Day demonstrations. Bay Area organizers are conducting noncooperation trainings to teach participants about authoritarian resistance strategies, including community defense, boycotts, strikes, and direct action. The movement emphasizes widespread noncompliance across multiple sectors, from jury nullification to corporate boycotts.
