No Kings III in Pittsboro

Thank you to everyone who came to the No Kings #3 rally in Pittsboro! It was a beautiful gathering with an enthusiastic, engaged crowd, estimated at 1,500 by the Sheriff's department. 

We had fantastic speakers, led off by Robert Reives, our representative in the NC General Assembly, and Anderson Clayton, our NC Democratic Party head. Thanks also to local speakers Alirio Estevez (Support Our Neighbors), Marilou Seavey (Economic Boycotts), Max Harmon (NCAE) and Blair Reeves (Carolina Forward).

Special thanks to our emcees Daniel and Quinn, from the Hometown Holler (theHometownHoller.com) who kept things moving and entertaining - they even led the crowd in calling Thom Tillis' office to say NO KINGS!

We also want to thank the musicians who added so much - Near Blind James and Harmonica Bob, and Singing Resistance Chatham. And also the many volunteers who kept our gathering safe, participated in the Signs of Fascism demonstration, and handed out flags and information. Chatham non-profits had tables with information to help strengthen and protect our community.
