NO KINGS: Rise Together
Saturday, June 14, 2025, 1000 - 1230
On June 14, Flag Day, while Trump is spending millions of taxpayer dollars on a military parade and grandiose displays, ordinary citizens are coming together across the country for a nationwide day of defiance, standing up against tyranny and corruption. Here in Asheville, Indivisible Asheville/WNC and the NC Poor People's Campaign will host "NO KINGS: Rise Together"-a celebration of collective power, community care, and purposeful action-in collaboration with many other community organizations, including Third Act WNC, Sunrise WNC, the WNC Workers Assembly, Asheville Alliance for Palestine Solidarity, Asheville Food and Beverage United (AFBU), The People's Place, Center for Participatory Change, and others.
The day's participatory activities offer many opportunities to connect and get involved:
* TAKE ACTION. Explore action-oriented tables hosted by community groups where you can do more than just collect flyers-you'll have the chance to sign up for volunteer opportunities, take part in trainings, and contribute to real-time causes like food justice and immigrant rights
* GIVE BACK. Bring clothes, canned goods, and toiletries to contribute to the care package drive supporting hurricane relief in underserved communities. Stop by the postcard station to write to elected officials about urgent issues like Medicaid, disaster response, and the federal budget.
* LEARN and SHARE. Grab resources on ethical businesses, environmental action, internet safety, and civil disobedience strategies. Then visit the community voice booth to record a passionate video about what matters most to you-perfect for social media and outreach.
* GET CREATIVE. Leave your mark with an art piece and play games with a message-including cornhole, giant Jenga, ring toss, and a donation-based water balloon toss at a Trump cutout.
* CONNECT and CELEBRATE. Enjoy snacks from local vendors, explore community garden teachings, and join a scavenger hunt that guides you through every corner of the event with fun prizes to win.
In a time of chaos and division, we're creating space for all of us to take meaningful action, support one another, and channel energy into real change. Whether you're showing up for justice, relief efforts, or simply to be in community, this day is for you. Expect joy, creativity, and movement-not just in spirit, but toward a better future.
Join Us! On June 14, we will gather, rise, and remind each other: the power is ours!
