The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On Saturday, June 14th, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind. 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.

Where?

Meet at St. Paul's Episcopal Church (224 N E Ave.) by 1:30.

The parking lot can be accessed via College Avenue, East Avenue, and Dickson Street. This route from St. Paul's to the Upper Ramble is characterized as "mostly flat." It is about half a mile in distance. Please let us know if you need accommodations — we can work to arrange rides to get from St. Paul's to the Upper Ramble if we have advance notice.

Parking:

* Please refrain from parking at St. Paul's, as we will need that space to accommodate the participants.*
Parking is available at the Washington County Courthouse (280 N College Ave.),First Christian Church of Fayetteville (220 N College Ave.), and Central United Methodist Church (19 W Lafayette St,), There is limited accessible parking next to The Ramble (251 N West Ave.)

How to Prepare for The Event:

Bring signs or props. Make your message visible! (Ideas: "NO KINGS IN AMERICA!", "KING-FREE SINCE 1776!”)
Recruit friends. The more people, the more power.
Record everything. Post photos/videos with #NoKings

We'll close with lots of live music! We'll be there, rain or shine, but please be weather-aware.

Our event is co-hosted by Indivisible NWA and NWA Community Hub.

"Strange News" reading, book signing, informal Q&A, snacks. Books for sale.

Book Synopsis:

Newspaper columnist Selby Coates plans to spend his retirement watching vintage sci-fi and horror flicks with his one-eyed cat Pancake and having an occasional drink with friends. Then he gets struck down by the Number Seven midtown bus. Halfway through Selby’s final heartbeat, a mysterious woman called Laylah brings him back from the edge of death. Selby soon learns that this strange person has saved his life so he can serve as her pawn in a conflict with her equally uncanny sister, Doma. Who — or what — are Laylah and Doma, and what do they have to do with Selby's father, who disappeared more than fifty years ago? What secrets from Selby's past threaten to destroy his future?

With the help of friends like glamorous bartender Royal Freeborn, schoolteacher Barry Ratliffe, and the sinister exile Colonel Cabrera-López, Selby intends to find out, even if it kills him. Again.

We are celebrating the Buddha's birth and Parinirvana, Earth Day and Father's Day.
