Register for the NO KINGS 3.0 Protest event in Highlands Ranch!



We will be collecting food bank donation items for Help and Hope Center in Castle Rock and we will have activists’ tables with representatives from various groups around the metro area, to share how you can take direct action in various ways following the event.

 

We are asking folks to register for the event, but we understand that there are concerns about the risks associated with signing up for a protest event.  Registering for an event like this gives us the ability to estimate crowd size, and this helps us figure out how many marshals and support people we need. 



We understand the concern, and you are free to just show up and participate if you prefer.


Speaking of Marshals...


Can you help us as a Volunteer Protest Marshal?  This is a critical role!


Marshals play a vital role in maintaining the safety of our protestors, ensuring they remain on sidewalks and out of traffic, and monitoring for any counter-protestors or disruptions. A lime green safety vest will be provided, along with comprehensive guidance and instructions. Marshals are required to arrive at the protest site by 9:30 AM and remain until 12:30 PM. Additionally, there will be a Marshal Training session conducted via Zoom on Friday, March 27th.

At the September 8th Executive Committee Meeting, the Douglas County Democrats voted on a resolution in support of 7A for South Metro Fire Rescue. South Metro’s property tax rate hasn’t changed since 2004 and is the lowest among similar departments in Colorado. With the increase in population and increasing operating and capital costs, this funding is necessary to maintain emergency services in South Metro's district.
