**Organized by New River Valley Indivisible (NRVI)** – Sign up here to get the details and updates, and to help us plan effectively.
**Our message:** Opposing the Trump regime’s betrayals of our democracy, including its war on Iran, its ICE secret police terror machine, and its many other abuses. And opposing the actions of the regime’s promoters, such as right-wing VT Board of Visitors members’ current assault on Living Learning Communities and other practices to make sure everyone counts on campus. #NoKings
If you share our values, join us at this protest. If you joined us and VT YDSA at the huge No Kings protest March 28 in Blacksburg, we’d love to see you again at this one!
– Bring a protest sign if you are able, but we have some extras. Or bring an American flag. Or, just bring yourself.
– Do you know someone else who might be interested? Please invite them to join you.
– **Nonviolent principles and actions.** NRVI requires protest participants to abide by nonviolent principles and actions, and for protest signs and other messages to be consistent with our commitment to nonviolence.
– This isn’t only a moral position, but also the strategy by which – together – we will win against this regime.
– No weapons or items that could be mistaken as weapons are allowed.
– We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation.
– **Messaging and audiences.** We will be most effective by focusing our opposition – signs, chants, other messages – on the regime and its promoters and enablers, not against ordinary Trump supporters, or on people who partly sympathize with them. We need to win over some of these folks to be successful against the regime.
– **More about us:** https://www.nrvindivisible.org. We are a local chapter of the national Indivisible movement (https://indivisible.org/). Our purpose: rebuild and protect inclusive democracy in America, where everyone counts. We are serious about “liberty and justice for all”!
