Past Event: No Kings Day 2 rally, October 18, 2025
We supported this 2nd No Kings Day event sponsored by Citizens to Save Democracy. About 400 people attended. A giant Declaration of Independence was displayed; music and speakers were featureed, and a sidewalk rally and march was very visible to the community.

Past Event: No Kings Day rally, June 14, 2025
We participated in this nationwide event with a rally in Veterans Park, Greenville. Organized by Citizens to Save Democracy, the rally was attended by 380 people. Local speakers, music, information tables, and free hot dogs and children's books preceded a sidewalk rally.

Past Event: Citizens' "empty chair" Town Hall and sidewalk demonstrations
A Citizens' Town Hall was held on March 29, 2025, in the Stafford Room of the Flat River Community Library, sponsored by an ad hoc group of citizens (later organized as Citizens to Save Democracy) concerned about the lurch towards autocracy taken by the federal government. It was a standing room only event with participants also interacting from outside the room through open windows. Subsequent sidewalk demonstrations have taken place during the noon hour at Heritage Park in downtown Greenville on April 5th and 19th and on alternate Saturdays in Greenville's Veterans Park. These have served to both solidify the protest group and to encourage passerbys that there is, indeed, an effort to restore democracy in our nation. The Montcalm Dems thoroughly support these citizen-initiated efforts.
