NO KINGS Brainerd Lakes Area

# NO KINGS – March 28
## Brainerd, Minnesota

**We have power — and we are claiming it together.
No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.**

What began as a single day of action has grown into something steady and strong — neighbors standing up in towns and cities across the country to defend democracy and protect one another from harm.

Here in Brainerd, we are gathering again — peacefully, visibly, and together.

When families are under pressure, when policies harm our neighbors, and when basic freedoms feel threatened, silence is not the answer. Community is.

On **March 28**, we rise together — not in anger, but in courage. Not in fear, but in solidarity.
