Seniors Take a Stand on No Kings Day
They’ve seen it before — the signs of division, the threats to democracy, the call to stand up. From their retirement community, these seniors have written letters, made calls, and built a space for hope and connection. But on October 18, they stepped outside — into the rain, and into the movement — joining No Kings Day in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This small act of unity became a powerful statement of civic courage, shared purpose, and the simple truth that democracy depends on us all.

Engaging Gen Z to Take Political Action: It’s All About Connections
Join us tonight at Fountain Street Church at 6:30 pm for our monthly meeting where we’ll learn from Kasen Wooters about “Engaging Gen Z to Take Political Action: It’s All About Connections.”
Gen Z has definite ideas about the future they want to build but is unsure about the role of political action in creating that future. With modern civics standards missing from high school curriculum, the connections between understanding what government is and how it works, why they should vote, and the impact they can have through political action is lost.
Kasen Wooters, a Gen Z political activist, will help us understand the issues that interest Gen Z, what they know and don’t know about political action, and what it will take to give them the tools and knowledge they need to confidently engage. Bring your political action experience and be ready to share. Register here.
Fountain Street Church, 24 Fountain Street NE. Grand Rapids.
