Corner – Van Ness & O’Farrell

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.

VIRTUAL OPTION: Will be livestreaming and recording the event. Please RSVP and you’d get the link closer to the event.
RSVP:https://bit.ly/ResistStateRepression
The panel will feature journalist and author Will Potter, Meg Calaw with the League of Filipino Students, civil rights and criminal defense attorney John Viola and other panelists TBA.
President Trump has designated the anti-fascist movement as a terrorist organization. While, in fact, it’s an opportunity for his administration to target and destroy a broader network of left and progressive groups. We’re living in challenging times with crises around war in the Middle East, renewed McCarthyist attacks on free speech, corporate domination of everyday life, escalating climate disasters and, now, a fascist takeover of our government.
As Will Potter has said, “The intention is to capitalize on this to crack down on their opponents and to consolidate authoritarian power.”
We’re also living in a time where large numbers of people have taken to the streets to confront those responsible for these crises. Today’s state repression is aimed to eliminate that opposition.
This panel will explore the ongoing conflict between democratic resistance movements and state repression and lessons that we can use to push back against this authoritarian takeover.
