This citizen-led demonstration holds special significance as it falls on the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, which marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. Just as early Americans stood against British overreach and restrictions on liberty, participants in this event aim to highlight concerns about executive actions that they believe bypass constitutional safeguards. The march specifically addresses issues related to the detention and deportation of immigrants without proper due process, the disregard of judicial orders, and threats to free speech rights.
Under the banner “Not on OUR Watch!”, this event represents an intersectional movement advocating for the protection of constitutional rights and vulnerable immigrant communities. The organizers are building a coalition of concerned citizens to stand against what they view as threats to democratic principles, drawing inspiration from America’s revolutionary heritage of defending liberty against unchecked authority.
The demonstration welcomes families and community members of all backgrounds to come together, hear inspiring speakers, meet neighbors, share thoughts, and march in solidarity. This grassroots effort seeks to empower attendees with actionable steps to protect constitutional rights and support affected communities.
“What we’re witnessing today is deeply troubling – people in our communities are being detained and deported without access to legal representation or fair hearings. This fundamentally violates the due process protections guaranteed by our Constitution. On this historic anniversary of Lexington and Concord, we’re reminded that standing against government overreach isn’t just patriotic—it’s essential to preserving the principles this nation was founded upon. We cannot allow the Constitution to be selectively applied. When we say ‘Not on OUR Watch,’ we mean we will not remain silent while fundamental rights are denied to immigrant communities or anyone else. This is about upholding America’s promise of justice for all.” says Valerie Traina, a San Diego resident.
