No Kings Day III Week: No Crowns, No Kings & No Wars!!!

In America, we have No Kings. We are showing up together again the whole week of No Kings Day 3 in Washington DC. From Tuesday through Sunday will be actions set to push the needle, push this administration back, and help take back our democracy. Please see below for the schedule of events which are also broken out separately as well. NO KINGS, NO WAR – STOP THE MADMAN! Tell Congress and the Senate that We The People demand a War Powers Resolution! https://flareusa.link/nokingsnowarweek “No Kings” is not just a slogan – it’s the fabric of our democracy. The Trump regime continues to commit impeachable offenses, disregard Congressional oversight, and recklessly destroy international relationships, endangering millions in the US and around the world. Our members of Congress have abdicated their responsibility to defend the Constitution and allowed their constituents’ rights to be trampled – they must take a stand and stop this illegal war NOW! We are calling for you

Walk for Peace

Join us as we cheer on the culmination of the 120 day, 2,300 mile Walk for Peace. Starting in Fort Worth, Texas on October 26, 2025, two dozen monks, accompanied by a dog named Aloka, began their journey to promote compassion, forgiveness, and national unity. The monks are planning on arriving in DC on February 10th, depending on weather and other factors. As their arrival date gets closer we will update our event. You can track their progress on their Facebook and Instagram pages.

March 4 Democracy

WE ARE M4D. AND WE ARE DONE BEING FUCKING IGNORED. On February 27th and 28th, the American people take over D.C. Not for a photo op, not for a soundbite, but for a reckoning—the March 4 Democracy. A march against the corruption, cruelty, and political cowardice that’s poisoned our country. If our elected officials won’t protect our rights, our democracy, and our future, we will. On Friday, February 27th, March 4 Democracy takes the fight directly to Congress. Attendees will join the M4D organizing team, partner organizations, and the congressional lobbying team from FLARE, with support from the Removal Coalition, to meet directly with elected officials and their staff at congressional offices. This is coordinated, disciplined pressure—led by M4D—demanding Donald Trump’s impeachment, conviction, and removal from office.

Community: A Little Help Goes a Long Way

Food, water, shelter. These are the essentials for survival. However, access to these necessities is tenuous for many people in the world. Governments, while essential for large public work projects, often fall short when it comes to helping individual people and families. For millennia these gaps have been addressed through community. Whether it’s a church handing out food, a co-op managing a rural water source, or an impromptu team clearing up debris from a tornado, neighbors have always been an essential source of support. Why then, in this age of smart phones and spaceflight, does it feel like communities have dried up? First, what am I talking about? Volunteering, community service, mutual aid, these words all mean slightly different things but they really boil down to one common theme: helping those around you without any expectation of financial or social gain. Most people watch TV or get on social media and they see the rat race of the world, the
