👑 No Kings SF -- Boudin Bakery Embarcadero

▪︎ Meet at 12:45 pm, at the entrance to Boudin Bakery, at Embarcadero Center
▪︎ PLEASE don't be a no-show. If your plans change, remember to update your RSVP prior to the event.

NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, deported legal immigrants and American citizens, deployed the military into our communities, silenced voters, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

Our peaceful movement is getting bigger and stronger, uniting people to fight dictatorship together. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On Saturday, Oct 18, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. Please join us.

🔅 Note: A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events.

The 2025 film Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is a biographical musical drama that chronicles the conception of Springsteen's 1982 album Nebraska, which was recorded on a 4-track recorder in his New Jersey bedroom. Nebraska, a stark, solo, acoustic album, is widely lauded as one of Springsteen's most enduring and influential works, celebrated for its dark lyrical content and raw, intimate sound.

Directed by Scott Cooper, starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, and based on Warren Zanes' 2023 book Deliver Me from Nowhere.

REVIEWS:
Jeremy Allen White doesn’t look a ton like Springsteen... but his performance is steeped in a truth so natural and unforced that by the end of the film you almost forget that he’s playing someone else.
-IndieWire

A bracing and moving antidote to beefed-up, heavily fictionalized rock biopics... Cooper’s movie looks for little moments rather than grand statements, and trusts those to speak as loudly as they did on the “Nebraska” album itself.
-The Wrap

The decision to portray the man not as a Rock God but as a fragile human being who’s also an uncompromising artist gives Deliver Me From Nowhere a solemn integrity.
-Hollywood Reporter
