Over the weekend, nearly 3,000 people gathered at River Walk Park in West Sacramento for a Democracy Fair before marching across the Tower Bridge to the State Capitol to join with thousands of others from across the region at Indivisible Sacramento’s No Kings protest.

There have been multiple protests across the country opposing actions taken by the Republican administration since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, including here in Yolo County.

One of the largest NO KINGS protests in the county took place on June 14, 2025, in front of the Yolo County Superior Court, one of over 1,800 that day across the nation. On Oct. 18, 2025, there was another NO KINGS march hosted in Woodland at Heritage Plaza in downtown.

At the Democracy fair, Indivisible Yolo joined with No Kings Yolo co-hosts, Davis Phoenix Coalition (DPC) and Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) and others to share information, make music, speak at an open mic, promote voter registration, distribute crowns and signs for people to use to declare they are part of what Indivisible calls  a “growing anti-authoritarian movement.”

During the brief speaker program, speakers from across Yolo County made their case for standing against the current federal administration, including Noel Rodriguez of Woodland, Alfred Melbourne of West Sacramento, and Deema Tamimi of Davis. They set the tone by underscoring that through collective strength, there is power.

At noon, folks gathered en masse to prepare for the march across the majestic Tower Bridge to the State Capitol. The Tower Bridge and the Capitol Mall up to the State Capitol were closed to traffic to allow marchers safe passage, according to Indivisible Yolo officials.

“At the Capitol, we were greeted with cheers from the thousands already at the Capitol when Indivisible Sacramento announced from the stage: here comes Yolo County,” the organization stated in a release.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Yolo County, between 1,000 and 1,200 joined the No Kings event in Davis at Central Park, and approximately 400 attended the Winters event earlier in the day.
