SUMMARY:No Kings 3 | HIKE Indivisible Elgin
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, millions of Americans came together in nonviolent protest to oppose the growing authoritarian actions of the Trump administration and affirm that this nation belongs to its people\, not to kings. Since then\, people have continued to rise up nonviolently against the Trump administration’s ongoing brutality and abuses of power\, including the latest escalation in Minnesota. The No Kings Coalition is activating an immediate and ongoing nationwide digital organizing effort leading up to our next mass mobilization on March 28. \nFoundry Park on Route 31\nNorth State Street & Lawrence Avenue\nElgin\, IL 60123 \nMore Info and RSVP
