THE FOLLOWING IS AN INDIVISIBLES VERMILION COUNTY RELEASE
NO KINGS RALLY
Sponsored by Indivisibles Vermilion County Danville, IL
June 14, 2025 10:00 a.m. to NOON
Location: Southeast Corner of Vermilion and Fairchild Street, Danville, Illinois
On June 14, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM coalitions of pro-democracy partner organizations throughout the country announcing the NO KINGS Nationwide Day of Defiance on Flag Day (June 14). The actions are set to take place during Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., on June 14. Instead of allowing this military parade to be the center of gravity, activists will make action everywhere else the story of America that day.
Alongside local organizers, partners, and leaders from across the pro-democracy and pro-worker movements, activists across the country will come together for marches, rallies, and demonstrations to reject corrupt, authoritarian politics in the United States.
As the mobilization’s organizers announced on the website NoKings.org: “Donald Trump wants tanks in the streets and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington — it rises everywhere else.
“June 14th is also the U.S. Army’s birthday — a day that marks when Americans first organized to stand up to a king. Trump isn’t honoring that legacy. He’s hijacking it to celebrate himself.
Joining millions of others from city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy looks like: people, united, refusing to be ruled. Everyone and anyone regardless of political party, are welcome to join in.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
“We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that will leave him behind. The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us.
“This country doesn’t belong to a king — and we’re not letting him throw himself a parade funded by tens of millions of our taxpayer dollars while stealing from us and stripping away our rights, our freedoms, and the programs our families rely on. On June 14th, we’re coming together to send one clear message: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.”
