NO KINGS in Newport News
Sat, Oct 18, 2:00pm-4:00pm EDT
Tech Center Side of Intersection Jefferson Avenue & Oyster Point Road
Jefferson Avenue & Oyster Point Road, Newport News, VA 23602
Description
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.
Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.
The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and 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.

PARKING & RALLY STAGING AREA
Parking Tip – Regardless of where you park, please do not park close to business entrances.
Parking for Majority of Protesters – We ask that for people that do not have mobility issues, please use the areas outlined with RED in the Target or Office Max parking lots – away from business entrances. It is a short 10-minute walk to the Tech Center Rally area from this parking.
Directions to Rally – The easiest/safest path from parking to the Rally area is the sidewalk on Jefferson (follow the blue lines).
Protest Area + Accessible Parking – if you or your passengers require easy accessibility, please park in the blue outline area – again away from business entrances.
The Dark Yellow Lines along the east side of Jefferson and the south side of Oyster Point are where we will stage the rally. Remember to keep a safe distance from the edge of road while leaving room for pedestrians to walk behind you. Follow the directions of the marshals who will guide you to an open spot in the Protest Area. Red X marks emergency water supply, a small medical kit (BandAids, etc) and extra protest signs

- Stay out of the Road

- If you have an American Flag to wave, please bring it with you
- If you bring a chair with you, please don’t set it up on the sidewalk, find a level green space to keep the sidewalk clear for pedestrians
