ESTABLISHED in East County · Peaceful Action Group
We are East County neighbors defending democracy, protecting the vulnerable, and refusing to back down. So we march, we organize, we protect our neighbors, and we fight back the only way that lasts: together.
about the event
Over 16,000 neighbors have been torn from San Diego County since January alone, one in every 200 people. Most have no criminal convictions and many were following legal processes. Instead, they are locked inside a dangerously overcrowded facility in our backyard.
This is happening in our community. In our name. We refuse to look away.
This Flag Day, we are turning outrage into an unstoppable wave of solidarity. We are gathering outside the Otay Mesa Detention Center to send a message so loud the walls won’t be able to contain it. This isn’t a protest, it’s a fierce and joyful act of resistance. Together, we will join hands for a massive, symbolic “levitation” of the center, directing an undeniable force of hope and love straight to those locked inside.
Authoritarianism thrives on silence. We intend to be deafening. Bring your voice, your drums, and your family for music, art, tamales, and a creative space for kids.
Lock arms with us to protect human dignity. See you there!

We are a family-friendly, fun-loving group dedicated to non violent action to make a positive change for our community. We organize peaceful, legal protests around San Diego to stand against corruption and lawlessness.
The time to take action is NOW!
The First Amendment isn’t just a right, it’s a responsibility. In East County, we are building a community that speaks truth to power with courage, dignity, and purpose.
Every action we take is grounded in non violence and mutual respect. We believe the strength of our message is amplified, not diminished, when we stand with integrity. Peaceful protest is protected and we protect it.
We are your neighbors in El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Lemon Grove, and throughout East San Diego County. These are our streets, our schools, our community centers and this is where change starts.
Change happens through sustained attention. We show up week after week at city halls, public offices, and community spaces. Why? Because elected officials need to see that we are here and we are paying attention.
