Hello, Defenders of Democracy!
Thank you for braving the cold to join our recent protest in Burleson on January 31. Besides standing up for Democracy in a highly visible and colorful way (such great signs!) we collected more than 100 pounds of food and toiletries to donate to local food pantries including Crowley House of Hope and the East Cleburne Community Center. Thank you for your generosity.
Now we look ahead to NO KINGS III on March 28. We'll be at the same location, but we anticipate a much larger turnout. The previous No Kings protests have brought 600 to 900 people to Burleson to line the sidewalk five-deep, from the SW Wilshire corner all the way along John Jones Drive!
To manage an event of such size and ensure a great experience for all participants, we need volunteers. We’re building teams for crowd support, safety coordination, and clean‑up. If you’re ready to stand up for democracy once again and help our No Kings protest run smoothly, we’d LOVE your help.
If you can volunteer in any role -- as safety lead, crowd "roamer" (watching for points of friction), calmer-downer (to de-escalate tempers that flare), or a bringer of bottled water and trash bags -- we need you. Simple safety and security training will be available for you to take at your convenience online, via the national No Kings Alliance.
For more than a year, the weight of the Burleson protests has been carried almost entirely by Lex. We need your help and support as we look forward to a truly EPIC turnout on March 28.
If you can volunteer, please comment below so we can point you in the right direction.
