This is one of many local events on this national day of action through Indivisible. We have a lineup of speakers on a few relevant and important topics. We plan to hold a few chants and wave at cars passing by. Bring a sign, bring a friend or two, and bring your voice - something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you!
From Indivisible:
On October 18, millions of us around the country are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.
Trump and his regime are doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters and critics, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we’re choosing democracy.
WE ARE UNITED AGAINST KINGS President Trump has already indicated that he’s aiming for at least a third term. But the American people don’t put up with kings. Together, we will mobilize in huge numbers to reject this corruption and abuse of power—it’s in our DNA as a country.
THAT'S WHY WE SAY: NO THRONES. NO CROWNS. NO KINGS This country doesn’t belong to strongmen. It belongs to the people. Let's fill the streets of downtown Minneapolis. We will gather for a rally, we will march, we will chant, hold signs and sing. We will express both our outrage and our support for our cities and our state.
We know this - we are stronger together and we MUST turn out in numbers that cannot be ignored. If marching isn’t your thing, come anyway. Bring a chair, a sign or an American flag and cheer on the marchers from the sidewalks. Enough is enough. For anyone who thinks they’ve gone too far, this movement is for you.
The organizers of this event are committed to peaceful and non-violent action, no civil disobedience, and to the promise of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly that is written into the Constitution. 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.
