PARKING INFO- see below

Broadway Park, at Broadway and North Park Street (Stillwater Ave.), is a large, green, beautiful park that is perfect for our event! We will have guest speakers and the day should be a nice, cool, and partly sunny day! There will be music, people in costume, and it will be a joyous occasion!

While there is not a large parking lot available just for Broadway Park, there is plenty of parking all around the neighborhood and at local shopping centers. Some people are carpooling, being dropped off, or meeting nearby and walking to the park.

There are accessible spaces around N. Park that are marked off for attendees with an accessibility placard/plate. There will be an organizer near these spots that can help secure one for you. Please keep in mind they are first come first served.

We have now booked ASL interpreters for our event!

Need ideas for signs? Check out “The Big List of Protest Signs for #NoKings 10/18” from Antonia Scatton. MANY great ideas to help win over the hearts and minds of the unaware and undecided!

Speaking of signs, there is a sign making party at the Food AND Medicine building in Brewer this Friday! 10/17 from 6-8 pm! The Food and Medicine building is located at 20 Ivers Street in Brewer. Here We Go Map here.

Bring American flags! Encourage your friends to do the same, and let’s reclaim this symbol and remind the world that the freedom we stand for is freedom for all. Pick some up at affordable prices at Reny’s!

Before No Kings Day on Saturday:

Watch our Attendee Best Practices video. Get oriented to the basics of how to prepare for and navigate through your No Kings protest in less than four minutes. The best way to promote joy is by making sure you’re acting in a way that keeps everyone around you safe. Use these graphics to change your profile picture on social media. We need to continue to build momentum around this movement. Make it unavoidable. Make it the thing to do. The last thing we want to hear is members of our own community saying, “I didn’t know it was happening.” Spread the word. Invite your friends and family to join in the fun. There is a No Kings Day event within driving distance anywhere a person may be across the country. Find an event near your loved ones, send the information to them, and ask them to be a part of this movement. Bonus: You can promise to swap pictures during the event to give them a little extra motivation to go.

Please bring non-perishables and personal care items for donations to local food cupboards.
We want this to be even larger than June’s protest!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No Kings is a peaceful movement of millions of Americans from all walks of life rising up to make it clear: We don’t do dictators or kings in America. We never will. We’re organizing and taking action to defend each other and our communities, demand dignity, and say enough to all of the Trump administration’s power grabs. 

Millions of us took to the streets in June, and we’re doing it again on Saturday, October 18.  

Please bring non-perishables and personal care items for donations to a local food cupboard!!!

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Bangor & Brewer Canvass

Sunday, August 24, 2025 10:30 AM –  2:00 PM ET

Join us for this Bangor & Brewer canvass events. We’ll meet up at 10:30am for training, hit the doors at 11 a.m. and wrapby 2 p.m. It’ll be a great day of connecting with each other and with your neighbors. We’d love to see you there!

Background:

In 2024, a citizen’s initiative campaign known as “Voter ID for ME,” collected signatures for regressive and restrictive changes to Maine’s voting laws. The Secretary of State’s office has since certified enough of those signatures, and the referendum question is now poised to be on the ballot on Election Day in November 2025. You can read the full draft proposal here.

This ballot measure is about so much more than just Voter ID. If it passes, many Mainers will see their access to the ballot box unfairly restricted.

On May 5, the office of the Secretary of State released finalized language for the referendum as it will appear on the November ballot. The question reads:

“Do you want to change Maine election laws to eliminate two days of absentee voting, prohibit requests for absentee ballots by phone or family members, end ongoing absentee voter status for seniors and people with disabilities, ban prepaid postage on absentee ballot return envelopes, limit the number of drop boxes, require voters to show certain photo ID before voting, and make other changes to our elections?”

The Labor Day rally was a success! Around 200 people attended at West Market Square in downtown Bangor on a beautifully perfect Labor Day morning! Read about it in the Bangor Daily News, WABI, WVII, and Maine Public Broadcasting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In solidarity with the AFL-CIO, and all labor movements, Indivisible Bangor invites you to join us in collective action to demand an economy, country, and government that serves the needs of everyday people, not billionaires. Join America’s labor unions and working people across the nation during our Workers Over Billionaires rally as we take back OUR day and show the big corporations who we are and how we fight.

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Join us for a summer gathering to take action and protect our communities!

Food AND Medecine’s civic engagement group and IB are coming together with neighbors to take a stand against the Republican-led budget cuts that are threatening health care, food assistance, and other essential programs. While the wealthy get more tax breaks, the rest of us are left with higher costs and fewer resources—and most people haven’t even heard about it.

At this event, we’ll write handwritten messages to voters in key Republican districts to help raise awareness and inspire action before the 2026 election. These voters are directly impacted by these cuts—and they could be the key to stopping Trump’s MAGA movement from gaining more ground.

Come enjoy some summer fun, meet like-minded folks, and make a real impact—all in one afternoon!
