The plan: We will GATHER at Orchard Plaza Park in Farmington to begin our event. We will start with a RALLY with speakers at the park. From there we will MARCH on the sidewalks through downtown Farmington. We will end where we began - approximately a one mile route. If marching isn't for you, feel free to remain at Orchard Plaza Park protesting until marchers return. Together we will close out our peaceful demonstration of resistance. Bring your enthusiasm, frustration, signs, and chants.

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.
