Lakeport, CA [May 30] — Concerned community members from across Lake County will gather in Lakeport’s Old Courthouse Museum Park at noon on Saturday, June 14, 2025, to take part in a broad-based, peaceful protest called “NO KINGS Nationwide Day of Defiance.”
The actions are set to take place during Donald Trump’s June 14 birthday military parade in Washington, D.C. It will also be the 250 th anniversary of the first shots fired in the American Revolution – in defiance of the authoritarian rule of King George III.
Instead of allowing this military parade to dominate the day, millions of activists will gather, not in Washington, but in Philadelphia and towns big and small across the country to demonstrate in favor of democracy and the rule of law.
Citing such examples as deportations and mass civil servant firings without due process, targeting of individual and institutional perceived “enemies,” unprecedented personal corruption, usurpation of the constitutional powers of Congress, and defiance of court orders, the Indivisible leadership group urges Lake County citizens to “join together in rejecting Trump’s authoritarian vision and showing the wannabe king what democracy looks like.”
