Safety of all our rally participants and surrounding community are front of mind. While we can't share all details (for security reasons), we can share that we have many experienced and trained marshals trained in de-escalation on site, and an extensive safety plan in place.

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, and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Should you encounter any individual(s) looking to stir things up or act violently, we ask that you do not engage and that you contact the nearest marshal.

A note on signs: While we encourage signs and banners, for the safety of this event, we ask that you do not bring signs mounted on sticks or any object that could be interpreted or used as a weapon.

Here are some handy tips for attending the event

DRESS FOR THE WEATHER

• Come rain or shine, the rally will go on. Minnesota weather means conditions can change quickly. So dress in layers and wear comfy shoes you can stand in for a few hours.

PACK LIGHT

• Make it easy on yourself, and leave large bags at home.

• Bring a fully-charged phone

• Bring your I.D. and one credit/debit card. Keep it in a secure pocket

• Bring a water bottle and/or light snack. There will be no food service at the event.

BRING A SIGN

• Make your own sign.

• Do not put your signs on a stick (for safety concerns).

• Do Not Bring Chalk or Stickers: please don’t bring chalk or any other writing or marking material to write on the sidewalk or other surface on at Gold Medal Park or march route. Our volunteers are responsible for removing all markings at the end of the event, and washing away markings is a hard task that is easily avoided.

Accessibility is a key to ensuring all community members are able to participate in this event. Here are a couple key things to know:

• Limited ADA seating will be available near the speakers on existing permanent benches (we will not be supply extra chairs).

• American Sign Language interpretation will be provided at the event during the program and located by the accessible seating area.

• If you’re participating in the march through downtown Minneapolis, we recommend those using mobility equipment or strollers to proceed along the sidewalks on the route.

ADA DROP OFF
We are still in event planning mode, and will update this site soon with information on ADA drop off areas.

This rally will happen rain or shine, so dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear allowing you to stay comfortable for up to three hours.

Pack It In; Pack It Out
To show our commitment to the environment, we are striving for a zero-waste event. If you bring it, please remove it and recycle/compost. There are no trash receptacles available at the rally site. 

To make this a safe event for all participants and for your pet’s safety, please leave pets at home. We love pets but with big crowds, noise and Minnesota weather, this may be a challenging environment for them and not all cultures have the same comfort level with animals. Of course, service animals are welcome.
