We are Indivisible Champlain Islands
We are Indivisible Champlain Islands, a non-partisan group of citizens in northwestern Vermont. We’re one of thousands of Indivisible groups across the country taking action to build grassroots power to save democracy and defeat authoritarianism. We are no longer Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We are united as neighbors, concerned about our shared future, for our children, our community and our country. And we are united as patriots who believe that this is a time for courage and collective action. Each of us has a role to play in this rapidly growing national movement.

NO KINGS 3
We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever.
When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, when our freedoms are being stripped away, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.
On March 28th, we will rise up, across the country once again to push back. Locally, we will take to the streets in small towns all across northern Vermont, and say it incredibly loud: NO THRONES, NO CROWNS, NO KINGS. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.
Throughout northern Vermont, rallies are currently being organized in small towns at staggered times. You’re invited to attend the one closest to where you live and then move on and participate in the next town…..and the next. These rolling rallies will all culminate in a great gathering of people in St. Albans in Taylor Park where there will be speakers and music as well as a “Democracy Market”.
Indivisible Champlain Islands will hold our rally at the Sandbar State Park and then move on to the rally in St. Albans, joining groups from many other towns who will all be converging there.
We will meet at Sandbar State Park at 12:45 on Saturday March 28th.
Ample parking is available in the State Park.
At 1:00 we will hold a short ceremony and a moment of silence to honor those who have been lost due to this cruel and lawless administration; followed by the ringing of bells. Yes! Bring your bells again. We will then have a peaceful protest with our signs and flags along the roadside until 2:00. At that time, we will head to the rally and Democracy Fair at Taylor Park in St. Albans, being held from 3:00 to 5:00. (There may be an intermediary stop at a protest in Georgia – that is still being worked out).
This is a nationwide event and it will be the biggest mass protest to date. This movement grows every day and it is time for us to SPEAK UP, STAND UP AND SHOW UP!!
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
See you there,
Marilyn Lagrow
Please let your Members of Congress know that you do not support this war and that they must step up and stop this unlawful President.
DEFEND DEMOCRACY WEEKLY PROTESTS BEGINNING FRIDAY MARCH 6TH.
Indivisible Champlain Islands will start holding weekly protests on Friday afternoons, 4:00 – 5:00 at the intersection of Ferry Rd (Rt 314) and Rt. 2 in Keeler Bay, South Hero.
We intend to make our voices heard and stand up to defend our freedoms. This is how our community pushes back. By standing together, out in the open, for what’s right.
A peaceful, visible show of resistance—neighbors standing up, speaking out, and refusing to look away as harm, cruelty, and democratic erosion continue at the national level. Showing up locally helps sustain national movements by making opposition visible, consistent, and impossible to ignore. And everywhere.
Public presence matters. It breaks isolation, counters fear, and reminds people—on the sidewalk and in passing cars—that they are not alone. It invites people to join the movement against this would-be authoritarian takeover
Bring a sign. Bring a flag. Bring a friend. Dress for the weather. Beginning March 6th.
NO KINGS 3, SATURDAY MARCH 28TH
This will be the biggest NATIONWIDE protest against this Regime so far. There were 7 MILLION people at No Kings 2 events (300 at our local event in South Hero). How many will there be for No Kings 3?? This will be a call to action for All Indivisibles.
MAY 1
There are plans for a NATIONWIDE action on May 1. But I do not know what form this event will have yet.
MAY 8
A Statewide action is being planned by the ICE Out of Vermont Alliance at the ICE facility in St. Albans (or possibly the CBP facility instead). Plans are still in flux but the date seems firm.
Watch out for the wind. Spring is in the air. Sugaring will be underway in the coming days. Let’s try to get ICE OUT of VT before ice out on the Lake!
Have a great weekend.
Marilyn Lagrow
