No Kings Pasadena 3.0: A March for Democracy From PCC to City Hall

Activists and community members will gather to advocate for civil liberties and democratic values.

Pasadena is set to become a focal point for civil liberties advocacy this March as the “No Kings Pasadena 3.0″ march and rally takes to the streets. This event, organized by the ACLU and San Gabriel Foothills Indivisible, aims to galvanize community members in a powerful demonstration of democratic principles, moving from Pasadena City College to the steps of City Hall. It is a continuation of a series of events designed to underscore the power of collective action in safeguarding fundamental rights.

The march, a third iteration in the “No Kings” series, directly addresses contemporary challenges to democratic governance and individual freedoms. Participants will gather to assert their collective power, echoing the sentiment, “NO THRONES. NO CROWNS. NO KINGS. We Have the Power – and We’re Claiming It Together.” The event serves as a crucial platform for local engagement, highlighting the ongoing efforts to protect rights, communities, and values in the face of evolving societal pressures.

The ACLU, with over 100 years of operation, is a national organization dedicated to realizing the promise of the United States Constitution for all and expanding the reach of its guarantees. They are actively involved in current civil liberties battles, including immigrant rights, trans justice, and reproductive freedom. San Gabriel Foothills Indivisible, founded after late 2016, is committed to strong democratic values, equal rights, and due process, organizing weekly protests and events, including this “No Kings” series. Their combined efforts underscore the significance of this local demonstration within a broader national context of advocacy.

The event will commence with a gathering at Pasadena City College at 11 a.m., followed by a march to Pasadena City Hall. Those who prefer not to march can assemble directly at the City Hall Garfield steps by noon, where a rally featuring music and inspiring speakers will begin. Organizers emphasize a commitment to nonviolent action and request that no weapons of any kind be brought to the event. Parking structures are available at Pasadena City College, though parking near City Hall may be limited.

No Kings Pasadena 3.0 will run on Saturday, March 28 at 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Pasadena City College (gather), Pasadena City Hall (rally), 1570 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena.
