You asked, it is coming. No Kings in Independence, MO! The tide is turning. With ICE raids reaching unprecedented levels and the specter of authoritarianism growing louder—exemplified by former President Trump’s relentless push to weaponize the military for political ends—nobody can afford to stand on the sidelines. Corner of Truman and Main near the National Park Visitor Center — stand along the edge of the sidewalk and remind passersby what rights they are losing with your signs! Please bring water — there will be no medics but there are a few people who will be joining you there. Time to let other members of your community know they are not alone with their dissatisfaction.
