Wonders

Photo: Keke wears a yellow "GAP" ball cap and peeks over a lovely floral-design sign with a black background and pink flowers arranged to spell, "FUCK TRUMP," which should be taken in the nicest possible way, as intended.

Photo (l-r): Linda, Nanny & Bonny team up with a trio of signs bringing home the message of the moment (l-r): "Leave District 5 (Kansas City's congressional district) alone!" & "VOTE [picture of an elephant] OUT" & "HELL NO KEHOE!" Governor Mike Kehoe is the MAGA tool in Jefferson City who called a special session of the Missouri legislature, under Trump's demand, to split the city's congressional district in two and dilute its votes with suburban and rural voters to prevent Kansas Citians from voting together.

Photo: Wes (UPS Retired) holds two signs: "STOP THE WAR ON WORKERS" (with a Teamster's logo) & "Resist Fascism." Wes said he showed up "for my kids. I want them to have the kind of country I grew up in, not some dictatorship."

Photo: Bruce holds a sign reading "NO MO GERRY-MANDER" and bearing a map of Missouri and Jana holds a sign depicting Governor Mike Kehoe with a brown nose and orange lips and reading "KEHOE Kisses ORANGE A-HOLE."

FilmThePoliceShirts worked without a tent, but had a wide variety of resistance-oriented t-shirts on offer across two tables. Wes & Glen also offer their wearable wares on Instagram & Etsy under that name.

Photo: Volunteers staffing the Kansas City Democratic Socialists of America tent stand behind a table filled with literature. Signs leaning against the table's legs read "Jews 4 A Free Palestine" and "Capitalism is a Pyramid Scheme."

The Kansas City Chapter of Democratic Socialists of America also had a tent as did the Party for Socialism and Liberation (not shown).

MailStormKC uses Facebook, Instagram, and Instagram to organize and convene gatherings to write to their elected representatives in defense of democracy and, just as importantly, socialize. And they, too, had a tent.

Another tent at the rally was sponsored by a statewide organization that's been at the forefront of protecting Missouri's citizen initiative process and the sanctity of the votes cast by Missourians: Respect Missouri Voters.

Meanwhile, in the tent next door to the Indivisible Kansas City tent, volunteers are busy with creating the banners & signs that will be displayed and carried at future demonstrations.

Photo: The Indivisible Kansas City tent. It is marked with a yellow awning bearing the organization's name. Volunteers stand behind a table helping protesters with finding information and plan their own resistance activities. Event attendees crowd the near side of the table, engaging with the volunteers. In the back of the tent, a large banner reads, "TOGETHER we can save DEMOCRACY."

Several #LocalResistance groups participated in organizing, staffing, and providing information to participants. One of these was Indivisible Kansas City

Photo: Hundreds of demonstrators gather in the middle of a park on the eastern edge of Kansas City's Country Club Plaza to listen to speakers from several organizations address a gerrymandering scheme on the part of the MAGA regime to end the city's representation in the U.S. House of Representatives and other issues. A protester in the foreground holds a sign that reads, "Say No to Kehoe. Keep KC United!" The MAGA scheme would basically divide the city into two congressional districts to dilute its largely democratic voters with suburban voters presumed to be more friendly to MAGA. A protester in the center of the crowd holds a sign aloft that reads, "I'm Not Losing My Country Without a Fight!" Beyond the park, two Spanish style towers of the Country Club Plaza are visible. Not shown: a few hundred more protesters around the edge of the crowd and holding signs along both sides of Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard, along the park side of Mill Creek Parkway, and along Main Street.

Panoramic Photo: Looking across Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard into the South Side of Mill Creek Park to see the protesters lining that side of the park, from the Boulevard's intersection with Main Street (on the right) to Mill Creek Parkway (on the left).
