March to defend democracy, fairness, and community values
Marchers in Iowa and across the nation will gather peacefully today under a “No Kings” banner to defend democracy, fairness, and community values – emphasizing nonviolence and unity under a simple, powerful message: No Kings.
The No Kings movement isn’t about party loyalty – it’s about protecting the principles that make democracy work for everyone. Iowans know the value of fairness, accountability, and honest leadership. And after years of economic strain from mismanaged trade wars, rising farm costs, and political chaos that has divided our communities, many are saying: enough.
Today’s demonstrations are a reminder that power should always serve the people – not the other way around. Organizers emphasize peaceful participation and respect for the law. Everyone is asked to help de-escalate confrontation, act nonviolently, and leave weapons at home, even those legally permitted.
If you believe Iowa’s strength comes from its people – not its politicians – this is your moment to stand up, speak calmly, and be counted.
