Update On The Fight for Free Speech - PLEASE READ
 

📣 CALLS TO ACTION
The Clarkstown Town Council is attempting to restrict the right to protest at the Four Corners in Nanuet: a historic and essential site for public expression in Rockland County.

Code of Conduct, De-Escaltion and Parking Information:

Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan - it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

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.

📢 How to Prepare for the Event:

✅ Please click HERE for a refresher on de-escalation.

✅ Bring signs or props → Make your message visible! (Ideas: “NO KINGS IN AMERICA!”, “THE PEOPLE UNITED”, “NOT YOUR PIGGYBANK!”)

✅ Recruit friends → The more people, the more power.

✅ Record everything → Post photos/videos with #NoKings and tag @indivisiblerockland on facebook and instagram and @indivisrockland on bluesky

🚨 We’re fighting for democracy. Let’s make them listen.
