"Huge crowds of protesters are expected Saturday in Berkeley, Oakland and thousands of places around the U.S. in opposition to what some are characterizing as increasingly authoritarian practices by President Donald Trump. It's the second No Kings protest and third mass movement against the administration this year, and it comes amid an intensifying conflict between federal law enforcement and protesters nationwide."
"A protest is again planned for the Berkeley overpass, from 1-3 p.m., with the Berkeley nonprofit Shark Stewards organizing people to dress up in ocean creature costume with signs to protect endangered sharks, whales and seabirds imperiled by the President's Executive Orders. Protesters will also gather from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Telegraph Avenue and Bancroft Way and from 11 a.m. to noon at San Pablo and University."
Mass protests are planned at more than 2,500 locations nationwide, with large expected turnouts in Berkeley and Oakland. The event marks the second No Kings protest and the third major movement against the administration this year amid rising tensions with federal law enforcement. June saw an estimated 4 million participants across nearly 2,000 protests, including more than 140,000 across the Bay Area. Local Berkeley actions include an overpass protest with Shark Stewards in ocean creature costumes and multiple neighborhood gatherings. Oakland will host a march ending at Lake Merritt Amphitheater with speeches, poetry, and musical performances.
