No Kings 3.0 @Babcock Ranch

Saturday, March 28, 10-11am

Lighted Intersection between Publix and Shoppes at Yellow Pines

IN AMERICA, WE HAVE NO KINGS.

We are showing up together on March 28.

When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. America does not belong to strongmen, greedy billionaires, or those who rule through fear. It belongs to us, the people.

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent, lawful action. No civil disobedience is allowed at No Kings events. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Progressive Cocktails

March Cocktails are cancelled. We will resume in April!

Join us for Progressive Cocktails, to unwind, socialize, vent, and/or organize with like minded individuals in our community!

This event is BYOB and some folks like to bring a dish to share.
