In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

🚨On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.🚨

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.

A core principle behind all No Kings 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.

This Memorial Day weekend, join us in celebrating veterans at a screening of the award-winning film Surviving the Silence - the true story of two women in love who helped change military policy. Presented by the Placer County Democratic Party.

Join us for a conversation with Col. Thompson and Barbara Brass after the screening as they share their personal journey and how they helped change the military policy that is now under attack by the Federal Administration.

Steve Micalizze, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and a member of a local Veterans of Foreign Wars post, will speak in honor of his fellow veterans.

🎖️ When: Saturday, May 24 at 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM 📍 Where: Presentation Hall, Kilaga Springs Lodge, Sun City Lincoln 🎟️ Admission is free, but RSVP is required

Reserve your seat now and help us honor courage, love, and service to our country.

Instead of an admission fee, we invite attendees to make a donation to the Placer County Democratic Party or the Placer LGBTQ+ Center.

FILM SYNOPSIS: Two women in love - Col. Pat Thompson and Barbara Brass - are surviving the demands of a closeted military career when one is forced to expel an Army hero for being a lesbian. The way she does it, however, leads to re-instatement and eventual change in military policy. They also candidly share how they wrestled with heart-wrenching choices, hiding their relationship, and struggling to protect their love while preserving Thompson's career - and became vibrant activists later in life.
