Show Your Love of Democracy at October 18 Hayward ‘No Kings’ rally
Posted September 21, 2025
Everyone who wants to show their love of country and democratic values
—including free speech—is invited to a peaceful demonstration on Saturday,
October 18, in Hayward. You’re also invited to bring donations for an area
food shelf to the rally.
The rally is set to run from noon to 1:30 p.m. on the sidewalks at the intersection
of U.S. 63 and Wisconsin 27. Parking is available in the nearby Visitors Center
parking lot.
To help us plan, you may sign up for the rally via Mobilize, either through
Indivisible at https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/841262 or through
WisDems at https://www.mobilize.us/wisdems/event/846989. Or just show up!
Up North Engaged and the Sawyer County and LCO Democratic Party are
sponsoring the event as part of the “No Kings” Nationwide Day of Action.
The “No Kings” coalition includes Indivisible, the ACLU, the American Federation of Teachers, Public Citizen, SEIU, MoveOn, and dozens of others.
Hundreds of No Kings actions are planned across the country on October 18 to stand up for rule of law and responsible, humane government norms and policies.
The actions also are intended to show rejection of the authoritarian, criminal, unconstitutional actions of the Trump administration. Those actions include continual assaults on the press and free speech as shown by overt threats and baseless lawsuits against legacy print and broadcast media—most recently against late night comedians at CBS, ABC, and NBC.
A few guidelines
Local organizers offer a few rules and suggestions for the October 18 rally:
· This is a peaceful event. Be respectful and lawful in manner.
· Bring signs if you wish. Be direct, but civil, in your messages.
· Stay on the sidewalks and give way to any passing pedestrians.
