Persisterhood – St. Joseph is one of over 500 partner groups throughout the country working to mobilize ordinary citizens in peaceful protests at No Kings III rallies on Saturday, March 28.

“To date, over 3,000 rallies, marches, and events throughout the country have been vetted and approved by our volunteer organizers and are already up on the No Kings Map at https://www.nokings.org/. Everyone in this country will be within easy driving distance to participate in a “No Kings” event,” said Dr. Jane Frick, Persisterhood facilitator, and one of the hosts for the No Kings Rally in St. Joseph.   “We expect this to be the largest, peaceful mass protest ever – doubling the 7,000,000-plus who participated in No Kings II Rallies last October.”
