Following is an important message from Indivisible Grand Junction for participants in the national No Kings Day protest on June 14, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. at Canyon View Park, 730 24 Road, in Northwest Grand Junction at 24 and G Roads:
The event is for people who understand Trump has brought the United States to the brink of becoming an authoritarian regime: Trump has been violating the Constitution, court orders, and U.S. laws and civil rights. Trump accepted a $400 million dollar gift from a foreign country in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Emoluments Clause; he charged wealthy people millions to attend dinners with him where they can gain access to him; he has monetized the U.S. Presidency to enrich himself and his own family members by issuing his own stablecoin/crypto currency. By all measures, just five months into his second presidential term, the Trump regime has already become the most corrupt presidential administration in U.S. history.
This behavior will continue, and worsen, as long as citizens allow it to.
Americans are starting to grasp the fact that only they can stop this corruption and destruction of our democracy, and it must be done through collective action.
Here are Indivisible’s instructions for participating in the No Kings Day protest:
—————
Hello Neighbors! We are excited for a peaceful, safe event of solidarity on Saturday for No Kings Day.
We are joining in over 1800 other events that are happening across our country!
We will meet at 10:00 a.m. at the northwest side of the parking lot near the basketball courts. You will have the chance to make a No Kings crown and follow the safety team to 24 Road.
Our goal is to fill the sidewalk on the west side of 24 Road from the overpass south as far as we can! We will encourage you to stay single file for safety AND the biggest impact! There is an option to stay in the park for any reason – be aware of your boundaries.
There will be a lot of people in the park: Please carpool if you can.
Safety team volunteers will be present both in the park and along 24 Road.
Safety First – Know Your Surroundings:
-Stay on the sidewalk or designated pedestrian area at all times. There will be Safety Team members at all crosswalks. Only cross at crosswalks.
There is ample sidewalk space for all of us. Remain single file so people can pass next to you if needed. Never block traffic, climb barriers, or lean over the edge of the overpass.
Be aware of vehicles, especially if people slow down or react aggressively. Do not engage — our power is in our discipline.

Digital Security
-Keep phones on airplane mode or turned off unless needed for emergencies or coordination. Click here to find out why. -Avoid posting faces of other protesters without consent. -Document wisely—if something happens, film from a distance, don’t escalate.
Commit to Nonviolence:
-We are here in joyful resistance. We do not escalate. -Do not engage hecklers, counter-protesters, or aggressive drivers. That’s a job for the Safety Team. -If someone becomes disruptive, alert a safety team member immediately.
Bring What You Need:
Water, snacks, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, umbrella for sun and possible coal-rollers
-Signage with clear, bold messages — keep it focused and legible.
-Bring noisemakers: kazoos, whistles, etc. Please leave behind anything that can be construed as a weapon–err on the side of caution here.
In Case of Emergency:
-If you see any hecklers or counter protesters, do not engage and back away
-If you see anyone doing something destructive or violent: Back away, and alert a Safety Team member
-First aid is located in the park. Safety team members will have first aid kits.
-If police approach or engage, stay calm and silent.
Trump posted this picture of himself as king on Feb. 19, 2025 on his White House social media account. Trump is working to attain total, unchecked power.
-Do not consent to searches. Say, “I do not consent to a search.”
-Have a legal support number written on your arm or somewhere on your body that is covered by clothing.
Look Out for Each Other:
-Stay in pairs or small groups. Check in with those around you.
-If someone looks overwhelmed, anxious or overheated, help them step aside and notify a Safety Team Member.
We keep us safe. We bring joy. We hold the line.
Thank you for showing up for justice — let’s make it powerful and peaceful.

Thanks, Anne, for these important details. I won’t be able to make it, but I’m hoping for a large turnout, with no “issues”, no confrontations, and another important statement being relayed to our Congressional and Senatorial representatives. Sending good wishes to those brave neighbors who will be standing up for what’s right, and speaking out against governmental overreach.
“In the 2024 election, Donald Trump received approximately 43% of the overall Latino vote, which marked an increase from 32% in 2020. Notably, he garnered around 55% support from Latino men specifically.”
I’m always curious about how you expect to get rid of Trump by “collective action”. What does that even look like? It seems a little dangerous and extra constitutional.
Why don’t you look around your “deep bench” and find a decent candidate to run in 2028?
Come and see what it looks like. And watch TV, so you can see what it looks like across the United States. And if you do nothing yourself, you’re complicit in letting the U.S. turn into a dictatorship. If you’re thinking “I’m not going to worry since they’re not coming after me,” that’s a heads up that we’re already in a dictatorship.
So Anne. What should I do so as not to be complicit? Hate the president and stand on a corner with a sign?
I know it infuriates you that Trump (or any republican) was lawfully elected and there’s nothing to be done about that except maybe spend the next two years (after the election, if you take the house and senate)
impeaching and convicting him. Holding signs doesn’t cut it.
You have been romanced by shady organizations into thinking that you are actually doing something. It’s an illusion and it’s sad that you promote it.
Like I’ve said a hundred times…get some decent candidates for the next election…not Gavin Newsom.

Generally that refers to the over-compensating wanna-be tough guys driving jacked up trucks who leave a black cloud of exhaust every time they accelerate. I’m not sure what good an umbrella is against that, however.
I always learn something on AnneLandmanBlog.
I’m tempted to “go down to the demonstration”,
just to see some democrats in the wild.
They/you have been going after this guy for almost ten years and I think you are driving more people away from your point of view than gaining adherents.
I think it might be instructive if you took the time to tune into some conservative media to see how you are being portrayed. That’s what I do by tuning into MSNBC.
I’ve already said this (ad nauseum) but the democrats’ narrative about the LA ICE enforcement is ludicrous. Add to that Newsom and Bass basically admitting that they are against immigration enforcement, blaming Trump for “the troubles” and threatening to not comply isn’t sitting well with a lot/most Americans.
It’s a huge risk you are taking by supporting “NO ICE” protesters. Everyone knows those officers (including the National Guard) are following the letter of the law under extreme conditions.
I’d say something like “this is the democrat playbook”…and that would be true. You guys seem to think if you keep pushing, something you want will come of it. I think all this will result in is a summer of chaos (not necessarily here, but in the country) And unfortunately for you. Trump has the upper hand and is willing to use it.
“Why can’t we all just get along?”
PS, I think it would be wise to ask, “who is leading this effort and what is the goal?”
This is anything but grassroots. They appeared at ICE headquarters immediately after they were alerted by Bass and her staff. Where did they get all their pre-printed signs and brand new Mexican flags?
Do you really want to be led around by the nose by well funded shadow organizations?
We don’t have to look at conservative media to see how we are being portrayed. You are doing a perfect job of that. Your hilarious caricatures tell us that you have no idea what liberals really think.

Thank you for broadcasting the important features of the NO KINGS protest. It promises to have great visual impact…press and TV.
The unloved, uncrowned, would be King of Bone Spurs will be threatened, and his weirdness may eventually cause the GOP to dump him.
Thank you Anne –
Your are one, if not the only, entity to announce the time and place of this event.
