No Kings Accessible Staging Space — March 28 2026 Activation Summary
On Thursday, during our Digital Placemakers gathering, we prepared the No Kings Accessible Staging Space—building a web of links to livestreams, Zoom rooms, and interactive digital actions so participants could move fluidly across the national day of resistance.
On Saturday morning, we opened the space at 10:00 AM and began gathering together.
Over the next six hours, the space stayed active and full.
Participants moved through a constellation of events across the country. We dropped into Zoom rooms hosted in places like Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, and Denver, each offering a different kind of engagement. Some rooms were watch parties for the national livestream. Others held speaker panels, educational workshops, open sharing spaces, or even yoga sessions for grounding and care.
Alongside Zoom spaces, we tuned into livestreams coming out of Minneapolis, San Francisco, Boston, Albuquerque, Washington DC, and Seattle—witnessing how this movement was unfolding across geographies in real time. The signs were epic! The speakers so inspiring.
Inside our staging space, people didn’t just watch—they acted.
We sent text messages to politicians.
We shared personal observations.
We showed our signs.
We responded to what we were seeing together.
The energy was joyful, connective, and deeply felt.
Claudia Alick held the space as a social justice DJ—curating videos, moving us between moments, and keeping the collective energy alive and in motion.
The Digital Staging Space functioned like a kind of civic videogame environment. Participants could “enter,” take on a presence, speak with others live, and navigate between multiple digital fronts of the action. It allowed for real-time choice: where to go, what to witness, how to engage.
A shared map of virtual events helped orient participants, making the broader movement legible and accessible.
This activation was grounded in a clear ethos: collective power without hierarchy.
No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has grown into an ongoing, distributed national resistance—spanning small towns, major cities, and digital spaces alike. The Accessible Staging Space extended that reach, ensuring that people could participate regardless of location, mobility, or capacity.
At its core, the space upheld a commitment to nonviolent action, care, and accountability. Participants were invited to engage in ways that de-escalate harm, act lawfully, and support collective safety.
We were not just watching history unfold.
We were making it—together.
