In June, we did what many claimed was impossible: peacefully mobilized millions of people to take to the streets and declare with one voice: America has No Kings. And it mattered. The world saw the power of the people. On October 18, we're doing it all again.
No Kings is a peaceful national day of action and mass mobilization- a day of defiance in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration. Join us once again in raising your voices together to remind this administration that there are no thrones, no crowns, and no kings in our towns!

SUPPLY DRIVE
As part of our commitment to exemplifying empathy and kindness in the face of ignorance and anger, we will continue our tradition of collecting supplies to help support our community. This time, we will be collecting supplies to benefit the Warming Center, which provides a safe, warm place to sleep for our area's unhoused population during the winter. They will be gearing up to open for the season, so this is a perfect time to show them our support!
Warming Center needs are:
- adult coats
- warm hats, mittens, gloves
- tableware: plastic utensils, plates, bowls, cups
- coffee, coffee filters, sweeteners, creamers
- cleaning products
- snack items (granola bars, Pop Tarts, Vienna Sausages, etc)
- Gatorade, water bottles
They specifically ask that we NOT donate:
- clothes, other than the cold weather items listed above
- food that requires cooking (we do not have a kitchen)
- canned goods
