No Kings is happening in two weeks!
On Saturday, March 28, at 1 p.m., there will be a big No Kings rally at the Bellows Falls Waypoint Visitors Center followed by a march through the village of Bellows Falls. People of all ages from Bellows Falls, Saxtons River, Rockingham, Westminster, and surrounding villages and towns will come together with millions of Americans across the country in a nationwide day of nonviolent protest as part of the third No Kings National Day of Nonviolent Action. The Bellows Falls rally will feature music, speakers, and activities for kids.
And see below for pre-rally preparation activities on March 22.
Musician Holly Brewer will kick off pre-rally events at the Waypoint Center in Bellows Falls starting at around 12:15 p.m. The Milkhouse Heaters will perform, and students from The Putney School will offer hands-on activities for young children.
The rally will officially begin at 1 p.m., with artist and community leader Charlie Hunter as MC. Speakers will include Vermont State Rep. Michelle Bos-Lun, Vermont State Rep. Mike Mrowicki, Rev. Telos Whitfield, and high school student James Chapman. Local musicians Valerie Kosednar, Mark Grieco and others will lead the crowd in songs of resistance.
At the close of the rally we will march through the village of Bellows Falls. The march will follow a route of 1.5 miles at a relaxed pace. Attendees who are unable to march or prefer not to are welcome to remain at the Waypoint Center, which is an ADA-accessible space with limited seating available for non-marchers. The march will conclude back at the Waypoint Center for a final call to action.
Preparation activities Sunday, March 22
On Sunday, March 22, at 1 pm learn a fun line dance with dance teacher Rachael Shaw in preparation for flash mob at the No Kings rally! This will be at Main Street Arts, Saxtons River. We’ll be finished before the sign-making workshop, so come to dance and make a sign.
Then, from 2 to 4 pm we will host a sign-making workshop. Join with others to create your sign or banner for No Kings and meet up with friends. There will be a couple of artists, graphic designers there to help guide you, as well as some art supplies. Bring your cardboard or poster board to Main Street Arts in Saxtons River.
Making an event of this scope happen is a big undertaking for our volunteer team and we have costs that must be covered, including fees for use of the Waypoint Center, safety vests and communications equipment for our safety team, ASL interpretation for the rally, and printing costs. You can help cover these costs by buying a hat or T – shirt to show your colors. A portion of the proceeds from this special sale will go to Indivisible Greater Falls, the sponsoring organization of No Kings Bellows Falls. If you order by Sunday, March 22, we will have your gear at the information table for you to pick up at the rally. Or make a direct contribution here.
No Kings is a mass, nonviolent movement that has already mobilized millions — from over five million participants on June 14, 2025 to over 7 million people joining 2,700+ events across all 50 states and the District of Columbia on October 18, 2025 — and is growing as communities unite to reject authoritarian power grabs and defend dignity and freedom. We need you to invite three friends who haven’t com out to previous protests to come with you on March 28. Each person who takes action will help us reach the goal of 11 to 12 million participants across the nation.
