‘No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance’ rallies coming to Maryville, St. Joseph

Northwest Missouri citizens will gather on the public sidewalk on the west side of the intersection of Wal-Mart Drive and South Main in Maryville and the sidewalks at the Belt and Frederick intersection in St. Joseph on Saturday, June 14,  as a part of “No Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” rallies.

“No Kings” events will not be held in Washington DC where the Trump administration is spending $45 million of taxpayers funds to host a military parade that day with tanks, plane flyovers and thousands of troops passing by for the president to review on his birthday.

Over 1,200 “No Kings” peaceful events have been scheduled in all 50 states and several foreign countries. Millions of ordinary citizens, organized by volunteers, are expected to turn out to celebrate Flag Day and democracy over oligarchy, including at a huge livestream event in Philadelphia scheduled at the same time as Trump’s parade. See nokings.org/ for details about the nationwide protest.

“We are coming together to stand against the increasing authoritarian excesses and graft and corruption of Trump and his allies in Congress. They’ve fired federal workers, 260,000 of 2.3 million or 12 percent so far, and defunded our libraries, museums, the arts, scholarship programs for minorities, public broadcasting, foreign aid, agricultural commodities for food banks, green energy, diversity programs, science-based research grants and cut safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP. All this to give tax cuts to billionaires and add trillions to our national debt,” said Dr. Nancy Zeliff, Skidmore, who will be helping coordinate both “No Kings” events in Northwest Missouri.

In Maryville, rally goers will bring signs and flags and meet on the sidewalk in front of the Courthouse, 11 am to 1 pm. More details are at mobilize.us/nokings/event/788656/

In St. Joseph, the “No Kings” rally goers will bring signs and flags and meet on the public sidewalks at the intersection of the Belt Highway and Frederick Boulevard from 4 to 5:30 pm. More details are at mobilize.us/nokings/event/789018/.
