No Kings National Day of Protest
In 2025, millions of Americans came together in nonviolent protest to oppose the growing authoritarian actions of the Trump administration and affirm that this nation belongs to its people, not to kings. Since then, people have continued to rise up nonviolently against the Trump administration’s ongoing brutality and abuses of power, including the latest escalation in Minnesota.
We plan to gather on Highland Ave. near Dickson Street, and at 10am, we will march down Dickson Street, rain or shine. We will have trained peacekeepers and volunteers to help along the way.
Join us in this peaceful, nonviolent demonstration and show this lawless administration that the American people will not stand for its many injustices and rank corruption.
