CALL TO ACTION
AAUW CA and AAUW National are encouraging members to attend the No Kings march on Saturday, October 18, 2025. This is more than a march — it’s a powerful, nonpartisan day of action to stand up for education, economic opportunity, civil rights, and a healthy democracy.
Why This Matters
Across the country, coordinated efforts are threatening:
- Inclusive public education
- Civil rights protections
- Affordable access to higher education
- Participation in our democracy
These attacks hit women, students of color, and first-generation students hardest. But AAUW members are not bystanders — we are change-makers.
October 18 is a day to show up, speak out, and stand strong — together!
Many of our members will be present at the Walnut Creek demonstration. More NO KINGS events throughout Contra Costa County: Pleasant Hill, Pittsburg, Antioch, Brentwood, East Contra Costa, El Cerrito, West County (El Sobrante) and even more can be found HERE.
If you plan to attend, sign up using this link (this let’s coordinators know the number of participants): https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/847866/
What to Bring
- A sign (or borrow one at the event)
- Your voice and patriotic energy
- Water and a small bag or fanny pack
- Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing

Is This Nonpartisan?
Yes. AAUW’s involvement is mission-driven and nonpartisan. We stand for:
- Strong public education
- Civil rights
- Equitable higher education
- Voting access
- Economic security for all
These are values — not party lines.
This Is An Invitation
Whether you’re marching, speaking out, or sharing online, there’s a role for every member.
Let’s show up — together.
We hope to see you on October 18!
