We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever. When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence. On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us. Join us here in Salem as we mark the day as only Salem can! We will have music, poetry, speakers and a few surprises! Our speakers will include a representative of Solidarity for Tsuru, a group of Japanese Americans who are survivors of the detainment camps of World War II, along with their families, friends, and allies. She will speak of the experience of her family's imprisonment during World War II, and comment on the cautionary presence of a new types of concentration camps in our country. Other speakers will address the presence of authoritarianism in this country where we unite with one voice to say: No Kings. Now is the time for action. Don't forget to wear something yellow! 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 and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
