<h4>No Kings!</h4>

<p><strong>NO KINGS is a nonviolent national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.&nbsp;<u>&nbsp;It is non-partisan in nature. </u>Although this event is being hosting by members of your Orleans County Democratic Committee, all are welcome.&nbsp;&nbsp;Municipal and street parking are available, and we ask participants to respect the needs of businesses.<br></strong></p><p>How can people NOT be concerned about what this current administration is doing to solidify unaccountable&nbsp;power?&nbsp;</p><p>A war and a gold-plated ballroom, neither with Congressional authorization celebrate&nbsp;an inflated ego; trial balloons about an unconstitutional third term; Undermining&nbsp;voting integrity on the basis of election irregularities that have never been proven in court case after court case; Promoting our nation's 250th Anniversary in ways that only a dictator could love; Changing government departments for personal gain as evidenced by appointment of leaders without expertise in these areas; Pardoning convicted criminals following massive business deals or donations to campaigns - These are the things we protest&nbsp;today.&nbsp;</p><p>The No Kings Movement has been accused of over-dramatizing its&nbsp;case,&nbsp;but everything we have warned about has come true as democracy is being squeezed and squeezed until there will be nothing left.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>It's time to take a stand in every&nbsp;village and town. The basic tenets of democracy are evaporating before our eyes,&nbsp;but we who are participating in this No Kings event, one of thousands of such gatherings across the country, are hopeful, deeply committed, and not afraid to speak truth&nbsp;to power. Join us, stand with us, and add your voice.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Where does the Orleans County Democratic Committee stand on STAMP? <strong>We stand with indigenous communities</strong> and will continue to oppose STAMP moving through their communities.</p>
