Artist: DJ Fovex One
Location: No Kings March Truck 
An immigrant who became a naturalized American citizen in 1989, Fovex One holds a deeply personal appreciation for the liberties, freedoms, and diversity that define the American ideal. Concerned that these liberties and freedoms he values are being eroded, Fovex One joins 50501SF and Indivisible SF's October 17 rally to celebrate and support the right of every eligible voter to make their voice heard. He believes voting is one of the most meaningful forms of individual expression, an opportunity for people to exercise their freedoms, make their own choices, and participate in shaping the future of their country.

Artist: The Soapbox Salute
Location: 18th & Linda (The Women's Building)
The Soapbox Salute fuses musical artistry, songwriting, and social commentary with its eclectic and rootsy mix of folk, rock, soul, and Americana. The songs brim harmony and prose, driving rhythm, and accents of brass. Aside from the music, the lyrics are deeply thoughtful and compassionate, centering the plight of downtrodden and forgotten people. They boldly denounce injustice in many forms. Each song carries deep meaning while weaving through stories, bold melodies, funky rhythms, and brash brass counterpoint. The songwriting is unique and powerful, and the energy is infectious. The Soapbox Salute was named as the region's top 20 bands by Mic Check Bay Area. For more information: https://thesoapboxsalute.com/
