On February 17, 2025, protesters gathered in Berkeley for a Not my President rally, part of a national day of action against President Trump's policies. Hundreds attended, holding signs condemning Trump and Musk. The rally featured diverse generations standing in solidarity, as supportive passerby honked their horns. In nearby Oakland and San Francisco, similar protests drew large crowds, including public figures like comedian W. Kamau Bell. The rallies aimed to denounce efforts to reduce government size, showcasing community resistance to perceived authoritarianism.
We cannot let fascism rule in America. We must come together, the Mercury News reported.
Protesters, who spanned the generations, held up signs that read No-one elected Elon Musk, Fascism is not healthy for children or other living things, and Sell yr Tesla.
Drivers of cars passing through the intersection honked their horns and gave a thumbs-up to show their support.
The demonstration was decentralized because there wasn't a stage, but the organizers had a bullhorn, people were chanting and there were lots of great costumes and signs.
