There were no King's rallies held in many parts of the Bay Area today.
It's part of a national movement to encourage people
to vote early in the midterm elections.
This group of demonstrators
in Orinda received some supportive honks from
drivers passing through the Brookwood Road
and Camino Pablo intersection.
One woman explains the message she said she wants to get out today.
To vote out the MAGA people
and just start reforming our democracy so that
So everybody can win.
Although she had that message,
others say today's demonstration was about voting early
and held up signs with calls
to action saying we have a constitution, not a king.
And in San Francisco,
organizers say more than 2,000 people showed up at Ocean Beach
to create a human banner for the No Kings Day.
Organizers say the giant message,
formed by people standing in the sand,
ended up measuring about 500 feet wide and 250 feet tall.
Those protests were among the hundreds of events held nationwide today.
From California to Connecticut on the East Coast,
organizers say their focus is getting people out
to vote in big numbers for the midterm elections.
