After No Kings 3

đŸ‡ș🇾 HOPE AND RECLAMATION đŸ‡ș🇾

 
“Over the past few years, whenever I saw the American flag I didn’t feel pride – I felt a sense of loss. It seemed like something that belonged to all of us had been claimed by a narrow group, and I struggled to recognize it as a symbol that represented me too. But yesterday changed all that.
At No Kings 3 in Knoxville, people were handing out American flags to everyone there. And in that moment, something shifted. Holding that flag again didn’t feel complicated – it felt right. It felt like pride, like connection, like belonging. It reminded me that this symbol doesn’t belong to any one group. It belongs to all of us.
Standing together, waving those flags, there was a shared sense of reclaiming something meaningful – our history, our hope, and our vision for the future. It was powerful. It was emotional. It felt like coming home.” ~ Lisa Henry, Knoxville

Onward, Indivisibles!

The message in Knoxville yesterday was clear
 we reject this administration’s cruelty and corruption.

But something else was also VERY clear – an energy of HOPE dominated the day. Because this administration is crumbling with every single day that passes, and it’s thanks to ALL of us and refusing to ‘stand back and stand by’.

If you’ve not seen Steve Pomerantz’s video sample of the day, it’s a must watch. And it perfectly captures everything that makes *our* No Kings SO Knoxville
 scruffy, welcoming, eccentric, artsy, community driven, EVOLVING, and oh so passionate.

We shattered records across the country on March 28th – now we shatter expectations.

Soooo
 what’s next? Because we ALWAYS have a what’s next!

On April 14th, we’re hosting an ‘after party’. But it’s far from just an after party.

We’re building strong relationships. We’re expanding our teams. We’re continually ramping up toward simple ways to plug into more direct, coordinated, and collective resistance.

Just need a hug? Yeeaahh
 we’re ok if you just come for the hugs. Because hugs, handshakes, and human connection are a necessary part of resistance too!

And of course there’ll be pizza (with vegan / gluten free options!)

We know not everyone can make every protest or every meeting – and that’s okay.

Making a donation is one powerful way of supporting our movement – fueling outreach, training, and coordination that brings more people in and keeps members engaged. It’s one of the most direct and concrete ways of powering the work and helping make long-term change possible.

Our local lead organizer says she’s been self employed for decades and ALWAYS spends her customers’ money like it was her family’s money. We are committed to that same value with Indivisible Knoxville. We know in our bones that money donated is COMMUNITY money.

We each have an important role in this. Some of us show up in the streets. Some talk with friends and neighbors. Some share information online. Some contribute to our ‘hive mind’. Some help us network by getting us in touch with the right people at the right times! Some support in other ways. It all matters. That’s how we build real power together.

So thank you to everyone who helps keep us powering this movement – in whatever way you can show up.
