NO KINGS Asheville [Indivisible]
From Indivisible:
We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
Join us at 1:00PM in Pack Square, Asheville, NC.
What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever.
When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.
On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.
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.

Buncombe Dems 2026 VICTORY KICKOFF!
Get Your Tickets Today!
We’re excited to officially invite you to the Buncombe County Democrats 2026 Victory Kickoff — a night built around connection, energy, and community.
This is more than a social gathering (though there will be drinks, good food, music, and great company). It’s our moment to come together, recharge, and begin building the infrastructure we need to win in 2026.
The road to a Democratic victory in 2026 runs straight through Buncombe County.
If we want to send Roy Cooper to the U.S. Senate, keep Justice Anita Earls on the North Carolina Supreme Court, and kick Chuck Edwards out of Congress, we have to start strong. That means investing early in organizing on the ground.
Your ticket purchase has direct impacts:
Powers our texting program to reach voters with election information.
Supports volunteer recruitment and training efforts.
Funds canvassing and voter outreach in key precincts.
Allows us to build critical Get Out the Vote infrastructure that makes Democratic wins possible.
Every donation goes toward building the system we need that turns energy into votes! When we show up together, we strengthen everything we’re working toward — but when we invest together, we build the infrastructure needed to win races up and down the ballot.
