PFP at No Kings Rallies in Riverside, Capital, and LA

The No Kings rallies, such as the ones held in Riverside, Sacramento, and Los Angeles, were a series of protests held on June 14, 2025 against Trump Administration policies and actions of authoritarianism and democratic backsliding.The protests coincided with a large-scale military parade in Washington, D.C. celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army and Trump's 79th birthday. The "No Kings" theme was chosen by the 50501 Movement. The coalition of organizers, including MoveOn and ACLU, estimated that millions of people participated in over 2,000 locations across the US and other countries.

Over two thousand people gathered on the California State Capitol grounds in Sacramento to participate in the No Kings rally. The PFP table was near the center of the event surrounded by the crowd. Sacramento County PFP nearly exhausted their supply of bumper stickers, T-shirts, and literature, were visited by several people who happened to already be registered with the PFP, and assisted others in registering to vote.
