No Kings Day: Johnson County Showed Up

On June 14, 2025 — Flag Day — Johnson County answered the call. While the regime staged a made-for-TV spectacle in Washington, real power was on display everywhere else. No Kings Day was a nationwide day of defiance, and our community turned out in force.

A Massive Turnout

Johnson County showed up in huge numbers, joining millions of people at over 2,000 events across the country. Despite the heat, the energy was undeniable. People came out to stand up for democracy and to send a clear message: we will not back down. The Iowa City Press-Citizen captured the scene in a photo gallery from the day.

What We Stood For

This wasn’t just a protest — it was a declaration. The people of Johnson County came together to defend the ideals that matter: liberty, justice, equality, and opportunity for all. In a time when those values are under attack, the turnout was a powerful reminder that hope is alive and well in our community.
