No Kings National Day of Action! June 14
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind. The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it. On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Check out nokings.org for more information. |
Cycle4CT 2025 - 6th Annual Ride for Climate and Environmental Justice! July 25 - 28 
All around us we see unprecedented catastrophic results of climate change, disproportionately harming low-income and communities of color. Despite seemingly endless extraction and burning of fossil fuels, our planet remains a beautiful example of resiliency but major policy changes and shifts in energy sources are needed for Earth to remain habitable for humans. It becomes painfully clearer every day that we must take immediate steps to address climate change.
CCAG builds and works with strong coalitions of activists and organizations to achieve climate justice. The Cycle4CT Challenge raises funds to strengthen our organizing capacity in Connecticut - and make significant progress towards a Zero Carbon Future Take the challenge physically or fiscally, together we all win! Physical challenge July 25 - 28. Fiscal challenge July 15 - August 31. Click here to register or contribute. |
