Saturday, September 6
1. Saturday, 12Noon – 2:00pm, Trump Regime Takedown (every Saturday)
Corner of O’Farrell & Van Ness Ave
SF
Weekly protest
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.

2. Saturday, 2:00pm – 4:00pm How Do We Fight MAGA?
In person
The Starry Plough Pub
3101 Shattuck Avenue
Berkeley
For online: register in advance at https://bit.ly/SSS-FightingMAGA to receive your personal link to participate in this event online
MAGA – Make America Great Again – is anything but that. It is an attempt to subvert whatever democratic rights we have, amplify the racism that already exists, persecute and expel our fellow workers who may not have the appropriate documents (and many who do) and make young people a lot more ignorant and anyone with a uterus a lot more pregnant. Our speakers will describe various movements to defend the rights of workers, immigrants, and all of us from the increasing attacks by the current U.S. regime.
Speakers are:
Kathryn Durham-Hammer – Indivisible Resisters – Contra Costa County
Bill Balderston – Alameda County Central Labor Council delegate
Renée C – Organizer with Party for Socialism and Liberation, Attorney
Frank Running Horse – Diablo Valley Resistance, Founding member of Teamsters for a Democratic Union
Host: Peace & Freedom Party

3. Saturday, 6:00pm – 8:00pm, Film Series: No Other Land, Best Documentary, Oscars 2025
Revolution Books (Berkeley)
2444 Durant Ave
Berkeley
Any donations raised at this event will go to support the communities of Masafer Yatta, where the documentary was filmed. They are still under attack and the daily violence against the people continues.
On March 2, the documentary film No Other Land won Best Documentary at the 2025 Oscars.
We are showing this film because it brings to life in a gripping and unflinching way what is largely censored in the US: the violent, escalating attacks and land grabs by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
The US is the principal backer and imperialist sponsor of the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people, and this is now even more vicious with Trump. Despite winning an Oscar, no US distributor has picked up this film – keeping the true horror of what is taking place in Palestine covered up inside this country.
On March 24, a mob of masked Israeli settlers, armed with batons, knives and assault rifles, along with Israeli soldiers, carried out a vicious attack against Hamdan Ballal, one of the film’s co-directors. Ballal screamed, “I’m dying,” as he was being ruthlessly beaten and bleeding badly, as Israeli soldiers stood by. “It was a revenge for our movie,” he said. The film focused on the very area the attack on him took place in—the village of Susya in the Masafer Yatta region where he lives.
Odeh Hathalin, aka Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist who was a consultant on No Other Land, was recently shot and killed by an Israeli settler in the occupied West Bank.

9:00am – In person coffee, breakfast available for nominal fee
9:30am – Program begins in person & online
San Francisco is facing deepening crises, with rising rents, increasing income inequality, large-scale displacement, and criminalization of homelessness. Our political leadership has been mostly silent on the erosion of civil liberties, ICE kidnappings, and, in many cases, has mirrored the cruel policies of the Trump administration. Meanwhile, in New York City, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo in an historic win, running on a bold socialist platform that centered tenants’ rights and policies that benefited the everyday New Yorker, while standing firm on Palestinian human rights in the face of a hostile media landscape. His victory is a challenge to corporate Democrats everywhere by showing that unapologetically left policies can break through. What lessons can San Francisco take from this victory? How can San Francisco better live up to our progressive, humanist values?
Dean Preston is a statewide housing advocate, tenants rights attorney, and member of the
Democratic Socialists of America. He served as the elected representative of District 5 on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 2019-2025.

5. Sunday, 1:00pm (PT); 4:00pm(ET), Emergency Call to Global Action that CAN End the Genocide Now!
Webinar registration: Webinar Registration – Zoom
A super-majority of the world’s nations already support Palestine. Using a little known process – Uniting for Peace – our UN representatives have the numbers and the power to override the US veto to:
– Send a multinational protection force to Palestine providing food & medicine, ending the blockade, protecting civilians.
– Implement sanctions & a military embargo on Israel.
– Withdraw Israel’s UN credentials, establish a war crimes tribunal & more.
September 18 marks a one-year deadline set by the UN General Assembly for Israel to comply with the World Court and the UN – or face concrete measures like those listed above. The UN could vote as soon as Sept 18. If we press governments/UN reps that supported Palestine in the past to hold the line for Palestine, we can pass a measure with real teeth to end genocide.
Join the webinar to help launch this global movement, with Craig Mokhiber (International human rights attorney), Dr. Jeffrey Sachs (economist, academic) Roger Waters (musician), Miko Peled (author, advocate), Medea Benjamin (CodePink), Susan Abulhawa (novelist), Ali Abunimah (journalist, Electronic Intifada), Imam Omar Suleiman (scholar & community leader), Rev. Munther Isaac (Bethlehem pastor), Jill Stein (2024 Green Party presidential candidate)
Join us to mobilize civil society worldwide & compel our governments/UN reps to use the supermajority power we ALREADY have to end the genocide now. Together we are the Lifeline For Palestine

6. Sunday, 1:00pm- 3:00pm, Boycott Chevron Picket
Temescal Chevron
5500 Telegraph Avenue
Telegraph & 55th
Oakland
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.

Monday, September 8
8. Monday, 7:00am – 7:00pm, Picket Line for Kaiser Nurses’ 1-Day Strike!
Kaiser Oakland
3600 Broadway
Oakland
The Kaiser Northern California Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) are organizing. We know that increased integration of midwives in a health system is good for all birthing people. We know that midwife-led care in well integrated health systems increases patient satisfaction and improves outcomes. We know our physician and nursing colleagues recognize the benefit of midwifery care.
We’ve been negotiating for over a year and Kaiser recently proposed absolutely absurd numbers for a salary range, less than we currently make, less than our RN colleagues and far less than our NP colleagues. For context: CNMs, like NP’s, have at minimum a Master in nursing. They also suggested cuts in our benefits!
It is, of course, more than about pay. We know that when we see truly collaborative practice between midwives, physicians, RNs, and all members of the healthcare team, we see improvements in care, better patient outcomes, and improved satisfaction. Despite this, Kaiser management has outright rejected our proposals to have CNM leads to ensure that midwives are able to collaborate with our physician and nursing colleagues to determine how care is delivered within Kaiser.
Both the Kaiser Midwives and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNAs) are planning to hold a 1 day strike on 9/8. We will be striking at Kaiser Oakland and Kaiser Roseville and will be joined on the picket line by other Kaiser Workers (RNs, PAs and operating engineers) who are organizing sympathy strikes in solidarity with us!
How can you help:
- Sign on to the open letter to Kaiser
- Join our picket line! Make sure Kaiser knows midwives are vital to patient care and satisfaction!
Monday September 8th, 7am-7pm at two locations- Kaiser Roseville: 1600 Eureka Rd, Roseville, CA 95661
- Kaiser Oakland: 3600 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94611

10. Monday, 5:00pm, Webinar: Act Now to Stop AB715
Webinar registration:
Zoom
Demand CA Say NO to Censorship and Whitewashing Genocide!
AB 715, a bill that censors educators across the state, is being pushed through the California State Legislature despite widespread opposition from nearly every major educators’ association and union. In one of the most undemocratic processes we have seen, legislative leadership is caving to right-wing and Israel lobby pressure, and has waived every major rule and deadline to advance this dangerous bill before the legislature closes next week. We need your help to demand that legislators REJECT AB 715!

Nr. Montgomery St. BART
Defend Community; Stop The Abductions
Every Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday
Since late May, ICE has arrested 60+ immigrants at the San Francisco Immigration Courts at 630 Sansome St. (from Mission Local)
Does this sound like a ‘sanctuary city’?
In January 2025 Mayor Lurie, the SF Board of Supervisors and many non-profits held a press conference at City Hall in support of SF Sanctuary – where are they now? Why haven’t they condemned ICE actions and presence in SF??
Call / Email Mayor Lurie
