The Human Banner at Ocean Beach for Saturday, October 18 is going to spell out NO KINGS! YES ON 50. With over 1,000 people already committed to portraying this message, it will most likely be larger than the 3,000 people who participated in the June NO KING! human banner that received international as well as national attention.
Human banners in which people celebrate their right to free speech are inherently non-violent. Starting at 7:00 a.m., a designated crew arrives at Ocean Beach to etch the outline of the message into the sand. By 10:00 a.m., participants start to gather on the seawall to watch the process. At 11:00 a.m., the participants descend onto the beach in an atmosphere that is both serious and festive to fill in the outline of the message. The human banner is then captured in aerial photography. At or before noon, the participants hold hands and walk to the water's edge forming a line before disbanding.

This will be a joyful, welcoming gathering for neighbors, families, and friends to come together, celebrate resistance, and build community prior to the larger citywide march and rally at The Embarcadero at 2:00 PM.
This Ocean Beach event is part of the national No Kings Day of Action, building on the 2,100+ events and 5 million+ participants in June. Together, we're growing a movement that can resist MAGA fascism and protect our democracy.
