Persisterhood to host “No Kings II” rally on July 4

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The St. Joseph Persisterhood will sponsor a "Let Freedom Ring: No Kings II" rally from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Friday, July 4, on the public sidewalks at the corner of the Belt Highway and Frederick Avenue.
Dr. Jane Frick, co-facilitator for St. Joseph Persisterhood, said the peaceful protest aims to demand "that everyone in this country be treated with respect and justice under the law."
Attendees are encouraged to bring American flags and signs. Participants should also bring water, wear sunscreen, hats and sunglasses for protection from the heat.

This will be the fourth protest rally the Persisterhood has sponsored in 2025, including the No Kings Rally on June 14, where over 600 people gathered to protest President Trump's administration.
