FULL STORY: No Kings Day protest to return to Coral Springs. Here’s what you need to know
Here are key takeaways:
- Organizers plan music, signs, cowbells and a postcard-writing campaign pushing against the SAVE Act and immigration authority agreements in South Florida.
- “We’re dealing with even more acts of violence and cruelty and injustice than I think we even thought possible,” Christine Calareso Bleecker, one of the group’s leaders, told the Coral Springs News. She cited continued ICE raids, indefinite detention, the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the Trump administration’s war in Iran.
- Bleecker pointed to economic pressures as well: “Gas prices are skyrocketing, now grocery prices are skyrocketing. Nothing is good for any American, and this is a problem.”
- The group will collect donations for Care Commons, its community service arm. Requested items include new socks and underwear, diapers, wipes, soap, deodorant, feminine hygiene products, shoes and gas cards.
- Joyful Resistance has also held regular vigils at the Broward Transitional Center, an ICE facility, and hosted speakers including city commissioner and mayoral candidate Joshua Simmons and social media influencer “The Dad Briefs.”
- No Kings Day events are also planned in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, Hollywood, Miami and Miami Beach.
