Shoppers at the Alameda Farmers’ Market last Saturday may have noticed a man wearing a straw sun hat and a button-down shirt featuring the smiling faces of his grandkids. Jim Cummons, an Alameda resident, was passing out fliers for the No Kings rally set to take place in Alameda on Saturday, March 28.
Cummons told the Alameda Post that he signed up to attend the event and then responded to a call from organizers Shalom Bruhn and Tina Davis for volunteers to help promote the rally and march. He is one of many Alameda residents working with Bruhn, Davis, and organizations such as Indivisible Alameda and All Rise Alameda to make the No Kings Rally a success.
Bruhn is excited about the rally. She confidently stated, “Thousands of us right here in Alameda, in solidarity with millions nationwide, will make it clear that we will not stop until democracy is secure and people are treated with respect.”
She explained to the Post that Saturday’s event will start at 10 a.m. with a family friendly pre-rally at Chochenyo Park, where people will be able to make protest buttons and signs. There will be chalk and bubbles for kids along with art projects and music. Attendees can learn songs for the march and rally and make bandanas with the No Kings logo…
