NO KINGS 4: FAIRBANKS VOTE EARLY

OCT 17TH

NOON TO 2:00 PM

Thank you to those who attended No Kings II rally, and how to keep in the loop

 Greetings!

Thank you for all coming out to the No Kings II rally on Saturday, Oct 18th. When we stand up against the things that are currently happening in this country, people notice. Trump and his office has downplayed the protests but his popularity is lower than ever.

Keep up your efforts to write your elected officials and let them know how you feel (yes, even the Republican ones). It's not a time to be silent.

IS MAGA A FASCIST MOVEMENT?

I really liked this thoughtful, sensible video about the origins of fascism and the philosophies behind it. Check this out.

Thanks for all you do, and keep heart. 

Gandhi is credited with this quote:

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it—always." 

And remember, our resistance must be peaceful in order to retain the moral high ground.

No Kings Rally in Fairbanks, Alaska

JUNE 14th, 2025

FAIRBANKS, ALASKA

PIONEER PARK

We counted 1400 protesters at Pioneer Park on June 14th in Fairbanks, Alaska. The local paper, the Newsminer, said there were 2000 people there. The protest was peaceful and felt like a pleasant outing in the park. Volunteers raised over $1500 for the Bread Line. 

VIDEO

Later in the day, there were even more people than in this video--no gaps in crowds.

June 14th

Protests were held in at least 24 communities condemning abuse of executive power, immigration crackdown and cuts to public services

As the Trump administration hosted a multimillion dollar military parade in Washington, D.C., marking the Army’s 250th anniversary and President Donald Trump’s birthday, and amid escalating military and law enforcement force against immigrants and protesters of immigration enforcement actions, thousands of Alaskans rallied in communities large and small, joining nationwide “No Kings” protests against Trump.

In Anchorage, a crowd lined L Street holding handmade signs, waving flags and cheering, as cars honked in support.

Stephanie Schulling held a protest sign reading, “no sign is big enough for all the reasons I’m here.” She said as a social worker, she feels an ethical responsibility to show up and protest “the issues with people being disappeared, the issues with DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency), the issues with the possibility of Medicaid, Social Security, you know, all those sorts of safety nets going away. It’s unthinkable.”

Signs and speeches from community advocates condemned the Trump administration as overreaching its power and authority, and called for protecting democracy and equal rights, including for immigrant and transgender communities. The crowd then marched along L Street to the Delaney Park Strip for an afternoon Juneteenth celebration.

“People are really, really scared, and I think their fear has turned into action,” said Erin Jackson-Hill, an organizer and executive director of Stand Up Alaska, a nonprofit social justice organization.

“In Alaska especially, we really hold on to our freedoms and our independence, and we’re not gonna bow down to a king,” she said. “And so the ‘No Kings’ march is a way to stand up and say, ‘We don’t have kings in this country, we don’t want a king!’ The country got founded because we didn’t want a king. And we certainly don’t want Donald Trump to be the king.”
