On June 14th, Americans will again take to the streets as part of No Kings Day, a demonstration against Trump’s actions. In Park County, residents will have two events to attend: a noon rally in Livingston and an evening protest in Gardiner, both of which are organized by Indivisible Park County and the Women’s Action Project.
The Livingston rally begins at noon at the corner of River Drive and View Vista Drive near Park High School. From there, protesters will march, chant, and carry signs up Main Street to Park Street, and then back again to the high school. Those who cannot march can meet the group at the corner of Park and Main with their signs.
The Gardiner protest will take place from 6 to 7 pm. Protesters will gather at the intersection of Jardine Road and Scott Street and march, chant, and carry signs.
Both events begin with a food drive to help feed needy Park County residents. In Livingston, the food goes to the Livingston Food Resource Center, and in Gardiner, it goes to the Gardiner Food Pantry. Neither organization is affiliated with Indivisible Park County.
Organizers ask attendees to bring one or two food items to donate. Suggested donations include canned protein, beans, or vegetables with no added salt; hearty soups and chili; whole wheat pasta; macaroni and cheese; peanut butter without added sugar; cooking oils; cereal without high fructose corn syrup; and canned fruit in 100% juice.
The organizers of both events are committed to peaceful, nonviolent, and respectful action and ask all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our beliefs and values.
