NO KINGS
Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. 'NO KINGS' is more than just a slogan—it's the foundation our nation was built upon. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don't have kings, and we won't back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Join us in Appleton, WI on October 18, 2025 from 11am-1pm for a nonviolent demonstration committed to de-escalating confrontation and acting lawfully."
This excerpt captures the event's essence, core message, and essential details while being suitable for promotional materials, email previews, or event listings.
Sign Making for NO KINGS Protest
Join us at the library from 9-11am to create powerful signs for the NO KINGS movement. Whether you're a seasoned protester or this is your first event, we'll provide materials and inspiration as we come together to craft messages that remind America: we don't have kings. Bring your creativity, your passion, and your commitment to nonviolent action. All skill levels welcome—let's make our voices visible together.

We the People VETO Project 2025
Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Northeast Wisconsin is fighting back!
They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.
**On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!**
Where: Houdini Plaza in Appleton
When: 11 AM - 1 PM April 5, 2025
This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.
A core principle behind all Hands Off! 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.
