    A "No Kings" protest in Memphis on March 28, 2026, ended in confrontation between demonstrators and the Memphis Police Department (MPD), resulting in multiple arrests and the use of chemical irritants. The demonstration, focusing on political opposition, saw police move to disperse marchers on Ida B. Wells Street, leading to allegations of excessive force.

    "Indivisible Memphis issued a statement around 10 p.m., Monday, 'Permits are not the issue. Police violence is,' the group's statement read. 'What we saw was excessive, disproportionate, and unjustified force used against people who were peacefully protesting and posed no threat to public safety. MPDโ€™s response was about silencing voices, intimidating communities, and discouraging people from exercising their fundamental rights.'"

  6. Suggestions about how you can

    SPEAK UP ๐Ÿ“ข. STAND UP ๐Ÿชง. SHOW UP ๐Ÿซ‚.
    #speakupstandupshowup

    1. ๐ŸŽŸ VOTE in every election

    The information about deadlines, where to vote, about those running..... it's all online. Take a break from TikTok (now owned by USDS = United States DOGE Service), Instagram, FB, and all of the other sm, and search "local election deadlines", "[your county, your state] voting deadlines", or contact your local party office.

    ๐Ÿ—“ Mark dates in your calendar. Vote in every single election (not just national ones). It's a right that you have and you are legally excused from work to go do it.

    2. ๐Ÿ†˜๏ธ Help as many people as you can with registering to vote.

    NOT SURE WHERE OR HOW TO REGISTER TO VOTE?

    It's a simple as clicking here: rockthevote.org/

    Rock the Vote is a non-profit organization that is legit, is safe, the form to complete online is easy, and by doing so you're earning Punk ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿงท๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽคactivist

    3. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿง’โ€๐Ÿง’ Take friends with you to vote.

    You may cast your ballot alone but waiting in line to vote can be a fun time! ๐ŸŽ‰

    Taking friends with you to vote also qualifies you as a good activist ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™Œ by encouraging/helping others to go vote.

    โœจ๏ธ๐Ÿฃโœจ๏ธ Take a person or people who have never voted before with you to go vote.

    Young adults, especially those living in states that are oppressed (cough Tennessee ๐Ÿ”—โ›“๏ธ cough cough Texas ๐Ÿ”—โ›“๏ธ cough) frequently say several things: voting doesn't matter (propaganda), they are too nervous to go vote (oppression), they don't know how to vote (suppression).

    You earn bonus activistโœŒ๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธ points when you take a newbie or young adult!! You earn double activist โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿšƒpoints when you take a newbie 18-24 year old to go vote!!

    They need you. Do your part.

    4. โšซ๏ธ๐ŸŸคโ™€๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆโ™ฟ๏ธ Take a person or people who are afraid to vote, because the person or people are minorities and are being actively being suppressed, with you to vote.

    The buddy system ๐Ÿค is a good system to use. Throughout all time, we have relied on the buddy system. If something is going wrong for the minority who is trying to vote, stand BESIDE that person. Be visible as that person's unwavering ๐Ÿ†’๏ธ๐Ÿฅ’ support.

    It is important that, as a visible support person, you don't attempt to take over the situation. Minority/minorities need opportunities to use their voices ๐ŸŽค (empowerment). If asked for your help, then speak up. Make good trouble but not at the expense of the minority/minorities. Remember, you have the privilege of living without fear ๐Ÿ™€ (unless you're also a minority). They don't.

    Doing all of the above earns you street cred as Punk Activist level 1. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽค ๐ŸŽธโšก๏ธโœŠ๏ธ ๐Ÿงท

    Remember: choosing not to vote is your privilege showing.
