We ask all participants to act peacefully and lawfully at all times.

Trans Rights Die In - Lansing

Trans Rights Die In - Lansing

Gender-affirming care for minors has ended at Corewell, U of M, Trinity, and every other major provider in Michigan. There is no longer a single healthcare provider in the state that is providing these services. This means thousands of trans kids have been cut off from the care that keeps them alive. We know what happens when youth are denied this care: suicide rates skyrocket, families are shattered, and entire communities grieve children who should still be here.

No Kings Protest II

No Kings Protest II

This protest is co-hosted by the Saugatuck Douglas Area Indivisibles and the Holland Zeeland Indivisible groups.

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.

Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

📍 Where: Centennial Park 📅 When: Noon until 2 p.m. October 18, 2025

Practice for the Douglas Halloween Parade
Oct

Practice for the Douglas Halloween Parade

Join us to coordinate and rehearse our performance for the Douglas Halloween Parade for Adults. Each year the parade draws around 20,000 people to downtown Douglas, Michigan for this extraordinary event. Many photos and videos are shared to social media that go all the way around the world, so let’s give them something to SEE!

Bring your large protest signs if you have them. We want to focus on aspirational messaging about the democracy we all want and deserve! Please avoid any negative messaging. Our goal is to reach as many people as we can via social media and ideally mainstream media.

The float will have the Statue of Liberty along with other characters in front and protestors will perform a coordinated “walk” down the route. We’re stopping just shy of a dance, but it will be fun!

He’s targeting Missouri, Ohio, Florida, and every state he can twist to help him steal Congress next year. States like California and New York are starting to fight back.

One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism

Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just on single days of mass action, but through sustained organizing in our communities.
