We the people are stronger than the people in power.
And we’re here, we showed that June 14th with the No Kings events nationwide.
Even in the south.
Even in the small towns and rural areas.
Even in the places where we feel alone in opposing this slide into autocracy.
We’re here, and we’ll continue to stand up for what’s right.
The No Kings day of action was historic, but it wasn’t the end. There’s more work to do. Sustained, consistent action is what it will take to push back on this administration’s attempts to take basic services from everyday Americans and pay for them with tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.
Join us every Saturday from 12-2 pm!
We’re a local, nonpartisan group of concerned citizens protesting the government overreach happening around us.
Bring a sign, voice your concerns, and build your community.

This will be the second of our three annual workdays at the Oak Ridge Cedar Barrens. Located next to Jefferson Middle School in Oak Ridge, the barrens is a joint project of the City of Oak Ridge, the State Natural Areas Division, and TCWP.
One of just a few cedar barrens in East Tennessee, the area is subject to invasion by Chinese lespedeza, Japanese privet, autumn olive, mimosa, Nepal grass, multiflora rose, and woody plants that threaten the system’s prairie grasses.
Our spring, summer, and fall cleanups help to eliminate invasives and other shade-producing plants that prevent the prairie grasses from getting needed sun. The late-summer workday is optimum for viewing prairie wildflowers that flourish at the barrens.

Volunteers should meet in the Jefferson Middle School parking lot at 9 a.m.; wear sturdy shoes, and bring loppers, gloves, and water. A pizza lunch will be provided. For additional information, contact Jimmy Groton at 865-805-9908 or groton87@comcast.net
