5. Saturday, 12Noon – 2:00pm, Trump Regime Takedown (every Saturday)

Corner – Van Ness & O’Farrell
SF

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: IndivisibleSF

Saturday, November 2

6. Sunday, 1:00pm – 3:00pm, Boycott Chevron Picket

Temescal Chevron
5500 Telegraph Avenue
Telegraph & 55th
 Oakland 

Monthly demonstration

Signs and chants will be provided. Bring your energy and tambourines!

Israel’s genocide machine couldn’t run without power from Chevron. Israel’s war on Gaza and Occupation of Palestine contributes to the climate catastrophe. Chevron supplies light and energy via its operation and co-ownership of two major Israeli-claimed fossil gas fields in the Mediterranean.

Chevron’s extraction activities are funneling millions of dollars in tax revenues to Israeli government coffers, directly fueling Israel’s system of settler colonialism and violence against all Palestinians. In 2022, those revenues amounted to over $462 million.
BDS is a global nonviolent Palestinian led movement, and we demand that Chevron immediately cut its contracts with genocidal Israel, and end its role in climate devastation globally.

Following in the tradition of the anti-apartheid gas station boycotts of the 60s & 70s, Palestinians and allies are building a global movement to hold Chevron accountable for its crimes through a coordinated boycott of Chevron gas stations and products around the world.

Join the campaign: Pledge to #BoycottChevron now at bit.ly/boycottchevron.

7. Sunday, 2:30pm – 5:00pm, Walk of Remembrance for Timothy Charles Lee

Event in Concord

2:30pm Meet at Rainbow Community Center, 2380 Salvio Street, Concord
3pm, Walk through Todos Santos Plaza
4pm; Speakers, Day of the Dead Altar, vigil at the Concord Bart Parking Lot

Join us for 40 Years Too Long — a walk of remembrance for Timothy Charles Lee. Sunday, November 2nd, 2:30 pm to 5pm. He who was hung at Concord Bart in 1985. His death was ruled a suicide, and we want the case reopened. Sign the petition at https://www.change.org/p/reopen-the-case-of-timothy-lee-hold-the-concord-pd-accountable

It has been 40 years since Timothy Charles Lee was found hanging from a tree near the Concord Bart station. He was 23 years old AND he was a Luiseño Rincon, Native American & Black, & Gay young man.

The Concord Police Investigators of the time and Coroner, chose to accept the lynching of a Black and Native American man, as a suicide!

We want the case reopened and converted to a “cold” case. Part of reopening the case, calls for discrediting the ruling of suicide! And not just reclassifying it as a murder, but also a hate crime by lynching.

We walk in his name. The event will feature speakers, poets, family, community, libations (non alcoholic), and we can offer rituals to loved ones across the globe.

To participate in our walk or support the event or if you have any memory or information of that time period or of Timmy: email Justice4Timmy [at] gmail.com
