As we take a breath and reflect on all we've accomplished, we also want to invite you to come together in a more relaxed way. We'll start gathering around 6 PM-come whenever works for you. The food truck will be open, the energy will be warm and casual, and it's the perfect chance to connect and keep the momentum going.

All are welcome. We'll be having a conversation about affordable housing, current roadblocks, and a path forward. Please RSVP.

Join us at the Petoskey Veteran's Day ceremony, gathering at Pennsylvania Park (Downtown Petoskey) at 10:45am. Area fifth graders and veterans will march from Central Elementary School to Pennsylvania Park where they will learn from veterans how to fold the flag. After the ceremony, we will show our support and respect for veterans with a march to People's Park (AKA "The Hole") where we will hold a rally. We want to honor our veterans while still bringing attention to the planned funding cuts that will affect services for them. Please bring your flags and appropriate rally signs! We hope you can join us! Every act of resistance and protest counts! If you cannot join us in Petoskey, please note the other locations where ceremonies for our veterans will be held.

While extremists tried to brand No Kings as "Hate America Rallies"-they couldn't have been more wrong. Flags were flying and peaceful messages of love and patriotism were the theme of the day. Much to the dismay of those trying to tear us apart, the real power in this country is citizens coming together. Join historian and author Heather Cox Richardson as we talk about how Americans can take back patriotism in this moment-including by voting and getting our friends to vote in the elections happening nationwide on Tuesday, November 4th. Each of us has the power to spark change in our communities, and this is a celebration of what we can do when we join together!

** Meet at the Bayfront Park Clock Tower at Noon ** ** March to People's Park (AKA "The Hole") at 12:30 pm ** Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. NO KINGS is more than just a slogan- it's the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don't have kings, and we won't back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.
