We do not consent to Trump and his billionaire allies taking a chainsaw to our government and our economy for their benefit! San Francisco is a sanctuary city and We the People need to defend the values that make it so. Let’s stand united and oppose the endless assaults on our communities, our civil rights, the rule of law, and our democracy.
Keep democracy alive every Saturday by showing up, taking a stand, and sticking together for the long haul. Standing together is better than standing alone. Let’s get together and call out the Trump/MAGA regime as a community. Plus, it’s fun! Think of it as our democracy corner—a place for you to voice your opinion, hang out with like-minded fellow protesters, and experience a cathartic moment together.
What you can do:
• If you’ve got signs, flags, cardboard cutouts, or any protest visuals you want to make, bring ’em! We also have spare signs to lend.
• If you have whistles, drums, cowbells, or other noisemakers, bring ’em!
• Musicians are welcome and encouraged. Sing the song of democracy!
• Many of our regular protesters are part of local activist groups who are happy to chat with anyone who wants to pair their indignation with direct action beyond street protest.
Host: Indivisible, and 50501 SF (organizers of the San Francisco No Kings March)

9. Saturday, 6:00pm – 8:00pm, U.S. Domination of Mexico:”An Imperialistic Parasitic Harvest: Savagely Exploitative
Revolution Books – Berkeley
2444 Durant Ave.
Berkeley
Presentation and Discussion by Revolution Books on this new pamphlet written by Juan Rojo.
The pamphlet is available at Revolution Books in English and Spanish. It was published by http://www.revcom.us and is available online. Its editors wrote:
“We are proud to announce the publication of “An Imperialist Parasitic Harvest: Savagely Exploitative and Entrenched… A contribution on the Historical Roots of the U.S. Domination of Mexico,” by Juan Rojo. Rojo’s new-communist analysis of the U.S.-Mexico relationship would be welcome and important at any time. But coming today, when the fascist regime now running the U.S. insists on turning reality upside-down and scapegoating Mexico and especially Mexicans as parasites and criminals, Rojo’s work is a critically important and valuable reality check as to who are the real parasites and criminals. We urge you to read, study and spread this.

Online https://secure.everyaction.com/4bcSkRCSkkOssuOep2CkBA2
Dr. Perlmutter, Dr. Syed and Dr. Sidhwa will talk about their most recent experiences working in the remaining hospitals in Gaza where they witnessed severe injuries and the impact of starvation and displacement on the Palestinians struggling to survive.
Dr. Mark Perlmutter is a hand- and upper extremity-orthopedic surgeon in North Carolina. During his second trip to Gaza, he worked in Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah and the Nasser Medical Complex in the south of the territory in March 2025 as part of a WHO program. Perlmutter was working at Nasser hospital when the second floor of the building was the target of an airstrike. The president of the World Surgical Foundation, he has worked in dozens of disaster zones worldwide for decades, including the 9/11 attack in Manhattan, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in Shreveport, Louisiana, and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Dr. Mimi Syed DO, MBA, FACEP, a board-certified emergency medicine physician, is an assistant clinical professor at University of Washington and Washington State University. She is a fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Dr. Syed served in Gaza from August 8 to September 5, 2024, and December 3 to December 31, 2024, at both al-Aqsa Hospital and Nasser Hospital.
Dr. Feroze Sidhwa is a general, trauma, and critical care surgeon in Stockton, California who has worked in conflict zones worldwide. He has had extensive experience working with patients in Gaza in March-April 2024 and again from March 3-April 1, 2025 with the American NGO MedGlobal. In collaboration with other healthcare professionals, Dr. Sidhwa published the New York Times October 9, 2024 review “65 Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics: What We Saw in Gaza“.

What Happened to Local TV at KQED?
Bridget Barrett, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, KQED
Bring Back Local TV at KQED
We are the union-represented employees of KQED. Once known for groundbreaking local shows like Spark and Jacques Pépin, KQED now produces only 6½ hours of local TV per year. The rest? Bought from other producers.
Last year, KQED even moved union jobs to a non-union facility in New York—violating our contract. An arbitrator agreed.
Your donations built public TV in the Bay Area. Now, funds are diverted to podcasts with no TV presence, and none of KQED’s 105 journalists work in television.
We believe KQED’s mission includes strong, local storytelling on TV. If you agree, make your voice heard.
Tell KQED: Bring back local television and invest in union jobs that serve our community.
