As a counter to the Military Parade in Washington DC this Satursday (weather forecast is for thunderstorms/scattered showers and a humid 86 degrees there), nationwide No Kings Protests are popping up all over the country.
There’s a ton of misinformation about the people behind these protests having ties to the Chinese Communist Party (see below), but here in OC, No Kings Protests are popping up all over.
I’ll post details about the one in the County’s largest city – Anaheim. Please promote other No Kings Protests in other cities in the comments below.
This is a peaceful, non-violent protest. Please be mindful that your signs, clothing, voices and actions reflect the peaceful and nonviolent intentions of our event. Due to limited space and safety concerns, please do not bring signs on sticks, signs with metal or banners. There will NOT be food available to purchase so we are inviting people to bring their own blankets, food, water, and chairs for this event. If you have extra water bottles or pre-packaged snacks to donate please consider bringing them to share. Above all, we are all focused on our shared mission to reject kings in America.Asyou can see, none of the sponsors of the OC No Kings Anaheim event are tied to organizations affiliated with Neville Singham, a tech executive right wingers say has strong ties to communist China.
And here’s the misinformation:
The radical group also received around $450,000 in grants for “citizenship education and training” between October 2021 and September 2024 from the DHS — the very agency the group was protesting last week. The federal agency cut ties with the group and terminated any further funding in March, including clawing back nearly $101,000 that had yet to be paid out.
A CHIRLA spokesman denied that the group had anything to do with the violence in a statement to The Post on Sunday.
He said CHIRLA “organized a press event on Thursday” to protest the roundups and had “been sending legal observers to immigration courts and detention centers on Friday, Saturday and today as part of the LA Rapid Response Network.
“We have not participated, coordinated, or been part of the protests being registered in Los Angeles other than the press conference and rally cited above,” the rep said.
Rioting broke out in LA on Friday as federal authorities resumed the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, conducting numerous raids in recent weeks and netting “around 150” arrests, according to Trump’s hard-nosed border czar Tom Homan.
PSL has ties to the Chinese Communist Party through funding from socialist billionaire Neville Singham and his wife, Jodie Evans, founder of activist group Code Pink, according to a 2024 report by the Network Contagion Research Institute. Singham sank millions of dollars into backing the groups after selling his software company, ThoughtWorks, for $785 million in 2017.
Don’t forget to offer details on other OC locations; include the time the event kicks off, offer advice on parking.
Update: May thanks to Democrats of Greater Irvine for these locations:
