AI Overview
The “No King!” beach writing at Ocean Beach in San Francisco on June 14, 2025, was part of a “human banner” demonstration organized by local activists Brad Newsham and Travis Van Brasch.
Hundreds of volunteers gathered to form the words “NO KING!” with their bodies. This event was part of a larger “No Kings” nationwide day of defiance and protests against what organizers considered authoritarian actions by the Trump administration. Brad Newsham is known for organizing similar “human banner” events for political change since 2006. The use of “King” in the singular was a specific reference to President Trump. The demonstration was also described as a response to a military parade that took place in Washington, D.C. on the same day, which was also Trump’s birthday.
