The training will include opportunities for hands-on learning and real-time actions you can take to support the community during an ICE-related situation.

Power Belongs to the People

Power Belongs to the People

  • S Green Street between Erwin & Meeting Street (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

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.

Now, he’s doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we’re choosing democracy.

Join Us Saturday, October 18 | 10a - 12p

We will be on the sidewalks downtown. We are standing, not marching on S Green Street between Erwin & Meeting Street. Bring signs and chairs, if you choose. Peaceful demonstration is not just a moral code, but a strategic one. PLEASE, no foul or hateful language on signs. Let's remind Burke County that the ‘Power Belongs to the People.’ We are standing up for a real democracy, of, by, and for ALL people.

June 14 | Indivisible Burke Rally for Democracy

Join us as we participate in this nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks on the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle designed to project strength. However, true power is not orchestrated in Washington. It emerges from everywhere else.

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump; it belongs to us. We’re not just watching history happen; we’re making it. ALL are welcome!
