May the 4th Be With You
May 1, there will be an Iowa Coalition/50501 May Day protest.
Not everyone can do a weekday event like this. For those who can’t, I got you! Our protest is about the Battle 4 Democracy. This incorporates all things that we are fighting for, veterans benefits to trans rights. If we do not have a democracy, none of the rest matters.
Been planning this since the beginning of March, tried to reach out to other groups to join, so here we go!
A great disturbance in the Force has been felt, and the Battle for Our Democracy is upon us! On Sunday, May 4th, from 12-2 PM, join us for a peaceful protest led by RescueOurDemocracy.com. No need for Jedi robes or Sith armor (but welcomed!), you may come as you are and stand with the light side against the creeping darkness.
🚀 This Is the Way (To Protest)
Forces of corruption, greed, and oppression are growing stronger. The dark side seeks to control voting rights, attack marginalized communities, and ignore the will of the people. We say NO to authoritarian rule. We say YES to justice, fairness, and a future where democracy thrives. Fight against everything the First Order, or the Turd Reich as seems to be the popular term these days!
STAY ON THE SIDEWALK! DO NOT BLOCK SIDEWALK TRAFFIC! (you risk being arrested otherwise)
We bring our Storm to them.
The Battle for Our Democracy will not be won in a single day, but every peaceful act of resistance strengthens the Rebellion. Whether you’re a Jedi Master of activism or a Padawan just beginning your journey, your presence matters.
🛑 Leave Your Blasters at Home—This Is a Peaceful Protest
Violence is not the way of the Jedi. Our power lies in unity, in our voices, and in the undeniable strength of the people. If needed, we shall defend ourselves and our democracy. Together, we will show the dark side that democracy is for the people, by the people, and will not fall without a fight.
⚡ The Republic Needs You!
The Empire didn’t fall in a day, and neither will the forces threatening our rights. But through peaceful protest, awareness, and action, we can ensure that the light side prevails. Join us, bring your friends, and let’s make it clear: the Battle for Our Democracy is not over—and we refuse to let it be lost.
REMINDER: STAY ON THE SIDEWALK! DO NOT BLOCK SIDEWALK TRAFFIC! (you risk being arrested otherwise)
May the 4th be with you, always.
