As in other towns and cities across America today people in Warrensburg, Missouri showed up.
Starting at around 11:00 a.m. people gathered on the Johnson County Courthouse lawn in downtown Warrensburg for a noon march and rally protesting the continuing shitshow which is the second Trump Administration. By the time the march started there were close to 300 people marching.
After gathering on the lawn (and visiting, and voter registration) the organizers had an invocation, then communicated the march route and rally agenda. Local law enforcement agencies blocked the intersections while the marchers were in the street on their way to the Quad on the University of Central Missouri campus.
“Dismantle DOGE”
“Trump is unAmerican”
“Speak your mind even if your voice shakes”
The start of the march.
“Mein Covfefe” – allusion and sarcasm on protest signs is an American art form. Smartassery at its finest.
“Trans Rights are Human Rights”
“The Many will beat the Money. Resist.”
“Fight Oligarchy”
“We’re being played”
“The time is now!”
“Our rights are not up for grabs!”
Words from the organizers and other speakers on the Quad at the flagpole with the bronze Bill of Rights plaques at the base:
Manny Abarca IV (D).
“No Kings”
“Keep your tiny hands off my social security”
“Liberty and Justice for All”
Trump don’t care about us”
300 people marching in Warrensburg, Missouri is something to behold. There are reports that several thousand individuals marched in Kansas City
It was so positive to see that many people show up in Warrensburg. I’m sure it made us all feel a little better. At 73 I still believe individuals can help change the world.
I wish I could have been there.

Will there be more? If so when and whete?
The protest movement is, for the most part, highly decentralized with independent organizers. Sometimes you’ll hear about something at the last minute, sometimes you’ll have more notice, It all depends. Join some statewide/local progressive online/social media groups if you haven’t already. you’ll get notice of upcoming protest events via those groups – most of the time.
