MACHIPONGO, Va. — Citizen Activists Rousing the Eastern Shore (CARES) will host the National Day of Defiance 2.0 on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 12168 Lankford Highway in Machipongo. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring candidates, live music, local speakers, a food truck, and an open mic session.
The “No Kings” movement, known for its grassroots focus on civic engagement and opposition to political complacency, invites attendees to “feel free to bring chairs and umbrellas” for the outdoor gathering. Organizers also encourage community participation through a food bank collection, offering parking and handicap-accessible facilities on-site.
Participants will have the opportunity to pick up No Kings crowns and hear from local voices advocating for accountability and citizen-led change.
The event, promoted as a peaceful yet spirited show of independence, builds on last year’s National Day of Defiance, which drew strong participation from across the Eastern Shore.
