Mark your calendar for our events and be part of the change. Together, we can work towards a brighter future for our community and uphold the values we believe in.

On March 28th there were over 3,300 No Kings events held in all 50 states and internationally. Globally there were 8 to 9 million participants, protesting against the actions and policies of the second Trump term. At the Lacey Twp No Kings event, we had over 600+ participants. Thank you Lacey Democratic Club for another great rally!

NO KINGS! On October 18, 2025, 7 million of us attended to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people.

From Bill Stemmle (Lacey No Kings Organizer):
This has been an unforgettable experience! We had around 650 to 750 people join. Our attendees were initiative-taking, well behaved (even you folks that stayed on the curb), and maintained a positive message throughout. The twenty or so Trumpists that came out were, as expected, crude, vulgar and bitter, but we mostly refused to rise to the bait.

The Lacey Police were attentive and helpful, and highly professional. Their sole concern was public safety, and they made sure the event was incident free.

Lacey Township is around 70 percent Republican, so this turnout was utterly amazing.

Also, anyone who might be interested is welcome to join the Lacey Democratic Club. We meet on the second Wednesday of each month, 7:30 pm, at the Charles Smith Community Hall, 15 E Lacey Rd, Forked River. United, we are stronger! We can also be reached at laceydemocrats@gmail.com.

Finally, I wanted to mention that several people thanked me for the event, but the real credit goes to all attendees. You people allowed your passion for this country to overcome any apprehension caused by threats of violence. In short, your bravery triumphed over the thuggery of the other side. You were upbeat and enthusiastic, and you are all true patriots.

From all of us: Thank you Bill !
