BRING BELLS. BRING SIGNS.
BE PREPARED TO BE PART OF THE LARGEST MASS MOBILIZATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. TAKE A STAND AGAINST TYRANNY.
The downward spiral of our country into authoritarianism and dictatorship is continuing and accelerating. Moves to prevent people from voting, a new forever war in the Middle East now asking us for $200 Billion dollars and countless sons and daughters, ICE/BCP roaming our state, our economy on the brink, gas prices headed to dizzying levels, families in despair, health care in crisis, concentration camps being built to warehouse people.
ENOUGH. The People are standing up and speaking out everywhere. This is not the America we want. This is our country and you cannot take it over and destroy it.
I have never seen a movement like this before. I have never seen The People come together and take a stand as forceful as this, in such a short time. The People have demanded change in our country many times before … “In Order To Form A More Perfect Union”. Democracy is messy. It requires participation. When enough people come together and participate, change happens.
They will fight us every way they can think of. And then we win.
This is from Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible:
No Kings is becoming so well-known that talented people all over the world are creating art in support of the movement. Nils Lofgren — guitarist for the E Street band with Bruce Springsteen — sent us his new song: No Kings, No Hate, No Fear. Neither he nor Springsteen had planned to write new protest music or even go on tour this spring, but after the crackdown in the Twin Cities, they decided they had to do a No Kings protest tour, kicking off in Minneapolis after the flagship No Kings protest there on March 28.

There are already over 3,000 No Kings III events registered. The No Kings Map is almost completely covered in dots all across the country; hardly a blank spot showing.
Artists alone can’t fuel this movement, but they sure can spread the message!!
Then it is up to us to Stand up, Speak up, Show up.
See you soon,
Marilyn Lagrow
