“Stand Up for Democracy” Rally March 28 in Carson City Offers Art, Music and Speakers as part of a Nationwide Movement
Indivisible Carson City (INVCC) is offering a wide assortment of collaborative art, speakers and community information at its “Stand Up for Democracy” rally March 28 from 12 – 2 p.m. in front of the Nevada State Legislature. This is one of thousands of protests planned nationwide as part of the third No Kings National Day of Nonviolent Action.
“We are standing up for democracy and against the authoritarianism of the Trump Administration, but the atmosphere will be creative, with local art and music,” said INVCC leader Kelly Bennett Unger. “Join us as part of this national NO KINGS 3.0 rally. There are no kings in America, and we will not be quiet while this administration tears apart families, throws up bad economic policies that affect every household budget, and threatens our allies and promotes dictators. Common sense tells you these actions are wrong.”
Volunteer-staffed information tables will cover Voter Registration, Get Out the Vote, and Community Defense. A local artists’ collaborative invites participants to “Make Art Not War” with interactive exhibits and an installation honoring victims of ICE violence. For families, there will be a Bad Bunny photo booth, Sticker Mania, and a Kid Zone with Face Painting and Masks. Organizers are also asking attendees to bring canned food or dry goods for a donation to the Ron Wood Family Resource Center Food Drive.
Featured speakers for the day will be Emilio Alvarez, retired teacher and activist; Paula Berry, activist for social justice and programs that support women and children; Kyle Allen, outspoken political organizer and activist in Northern Nevada, and Athar Haseebullah, Esq., executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada (ACLUNV). Cedric Williams, union representative for the Sierra Range Chapter for Local 4041, will be the rally’s master of ceremonies.
“We have a schedule with singers and speakers talking about issues that impact our community here in Northern Nevada and beyond. We hope everyone will show up, volunteer to get involved, and stand for democracy,” said Bennett Unger.
No Kings is a mass, nonviolent movement that has already mobilized millions — from over five million participants on June 14, 2025 to over 7 million people joining 2,700+ events across all 50 states and the District of Columbia on October 18, 2025 — and is growing as communities unite to reject authoritarian power grabs and defend dignity and freedom.
Indivisible Carson City is excited to join with other groups organizing the No Kings nonviolent protests across the country including ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Common Defense, 50501, Human Rights Campaign, Indivisible, League of Conservation Voters, MoveOn, National Nurses United, Public Citizen, SEIU, among others.
