Hello Mercer Island Patriots!

On March 28, 2026, over 1250 people gathered, carrying signs and greeting one another, at Aubrey Davis Park to celebrate democracy at No Kings 3. This peaceful, family-friendly event brought the community together to walk up to 1.2 miles each way over Lake Washington from Mercer Island to the Mount Baker tunnel in Seattle.

Over 3,300 events took place on March 28 world-wide on every continent! Nation-wide, over 8 million people celebrated No Kings 3 to protest the current administration’s abuses of power, disrespect of the constitution, and disregard for the rule of law.

The health of our democracy and our nation will require active participation from informed citizens who take a stand on these vital issues and vote in elections.

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
