No Kings 3.0 is coming soon!

Community Forum on Local Healthcare

Sponsored by CANN

When:
Wednesday, March 18, 6:30–8:00pm
Where:
Cook Community Center

Join CANN for a session with Keith Harvey, CEO of Scenic Rivers Health Services. This CANN-sponsored forum will continue the community conversations begun last year, with a focus on the risks to Cook's local healthcare services now and into the future as full implementation of the federal government's Medicaid funding cuts go into effect. There will be time for discussion and Q&A. Light refreshments will be available.

What would you like to discuss at the healthcare forum?

Email your suggestions and questions to CANN by March 16 and we'll forward them to Keith Harvey ahead of time.

Signing & Resisting Events

Each Friday at noon at the following locations:

  • Cook: Hwy 53 and River Street
  • Tower: Mainstreet by the locomotive
  • Ely: Sheridan St. & Central Ave

Signs should include issues common to everyone like good jobs, enough money for food and healthcare, and a good education.

No Kings!

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

When:
March 28, 3:00–5:00pm
Where:
Cook City Park

We have the power and are claiming it together.

Stand up for democracy, free speech, and unity at a peaceful rally. There will be music, speakers, and community-making to show that we have No Kings in America!

Bring a sign and bring a friend. Bring your own chair too. This event is hosted by Northern Progressives & Democracy Defenders. Grow our movement and join us.

When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, 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, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.

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.

Indivisible Calls to Action

No War!

Trump has launched unauthorized military strikes on Iran, dragging the United States into yet another war without approval from Congress.

This reckless escalation is putting U.S. service members, Americans, and Iranian civilians in danger all to advance a unilateral regime-change agenda that the American people never asked for and do not support.
