We’re calling on Vancouver Island residents to stand with us in solidarity for our NO TYRANTS RALLY – held in conjunction with the NO KINGS movement taking place in the U.S. and internationally. The No Kings movement was created in response to the growing extremism and authoritarian excesses of the Trump regime.

Join us on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from noon to 2 pm, along the highway at Maffeo Sutton Park in Nanaimo – at the intersection of Terminal Ave. and Comox Rd.

The rights and freedoms we cherish don’t protect themselves – people do. The ongoing threats toward Canada from the Trump regime is a reminder that our democracy and our unity cannot be taken for granted, especially when separation movements could leave our country more vulnerable in these unstable times.

There is a growing urgency to speak out against the cruelty, corruption, and chaos we see unfolding in the U.S., and the ways some of those dynamics are echoed by certain Canadian political voices that seek to divide us and threaten to pull our country in the same direction.

This rally is a chance to stand together, to show that Canadians protect one another, and to make clear that anyone who threatens our neighbours, our communities, our sovereignty, or our democracy will be challenged. We must stand up to hate, to fear, and to tyrants.

Extremism doesn’t stop at the border!

As Canadians, we care about what our southern neighbours are living through. It’s a stark reminder of what we must safeguard in our own country.

Every major change that has taken place in history, began with everyday people refusing to stay silent.

Invite others to this event. Bring your friends, your family, your energy, and your signs! Imagine what could happen if everyone brought at least one other person!
