Weekly protests to defend our democracy in downtown Wichita, Kansas.

Every Saturday and Monday

Noon – 1:30 PM

NE Corner of Douglas & Broadway. (Senator Moran’s office is in the Ruffin Building at 100 N Broadway) AND Chester I Lewis Reflection Square Park (less than half a block away – where Senator Marshall’s offices are located.)

Calls to Action: Let’s level up our weekly protests.

On April 19, American citizens will once again take to the streets across the nation to raise their voices and defend our democracy. In Wichita, we’re doing this every week on Mondays and Saturdays at noon in the heart of Downtown Wichita. We want to do more, beyond the protests and beyond the calls/letters/emails/visits to our elected officials.

This starts April 19. Inspired by our friends at 50501, we want to include giving back to those in need in our community. We will be selecting local organizations to highlight each week who serve some of our most threatened demographics and doing what we can to collect donations of items, encourage donations of funds directly to the organizations and promoting ways the community can get involved with each one. (There are SO many areas in our community who need support right now: veterans, food banks, mental health care, LGBTQ+ and especially our transgender/GNC friends, immigration groups, women’s health care/reproductive care, faith/religion resources, etc. The list goes on….. some of these will be 1 week, some may be 2 or 3…. .)

Here’s a general timeline and we’ll update each event with that week’s information.
