Southsiders for Peace, a grassroots activist group in Chicago, is hosting a sign-making workshop on Saturday, March 21, to help participants create clever protest signs for an upcoming 'No Kings Day' demonstration. The group is planning to join the nationwide 'No Kings March' with a local event on March 28 at 95th Street and Western Avenue, where there is more space for the expected large turnout.

Why it matters

The 'No Kings Day' protests are part of a broader movement against monarchies and undemocratic power structures. Southsiders for Peace's involvement reflects the group's commitment to grassroots activism and social justice causes in the Chicago area.
