FLAG DAY FREEDOM RALLY
NO KINGS!
A CALL TO ACTION: SATURDAY JUNE 14th
In Newtown, CT, on Saturday, June 14th, join hundreds of fellow citizens at the iconic Main Street Flagpole from 2 to 3 pm on FLAG DAY to protest the corrupt, incompetent administration of
Donald J. Trump, who styles himself a king above the law. Along both sides of Main Street we will raise our voices in defense of the ideals embodied in the red, white, and blue: freedom, democracy and the rule of law!
Bring your signs, your voices, and your determination as we line the street keeping to the sidewalks and the public grass areas only.
We aim to let traffic flow as freely as possible so that your signs can be seen. Speakers and music will be centered on the sidewalk in front of the Newtown Meeting House. Check this site for suggested nearby parking and safety guidelines which will be posted here by May 25th.
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. 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, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.
On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.
The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.
On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information.
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.
Rock This Democracy is a grassroots volunteer organization creating and supporting gatherings of all sizes to defend democracy and reject authoritarianism and oligarchy.
There is a path beyond projection and echo chambers.
As we illuminate that path for all ages, all races and creeds, all orientations, all families and people, we mobilize to further the defense of liberty and justice and for all.
To promote accountability of our state level Republican Senators and Representatives as to whether they endorse the federal actions of Trump (all of which certainly affect us locally) click this Action Item below: join us in posing (yet again) these five key questions to our elected officials.
