NO KINGS (or Oligarchs or Kleptocrats) IN AMERICA is a Flag Day MARCH for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Hundreds of such marches will take place Saturday, June 14th all across the country. In Little Rock this bold, peaceful march across the Broadway Bridge in support of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will begin at 10:00 AM. The purpose is to uplift the voices of the marginalized, to call for justice in every community, and to affirm that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not optional, but rather, essential.
The Meet-up Spot is the Margaret Clark Adventure Park (Little Rock Riverfront Park) under the Broadway Bridge
🅿️ PARKING INFORMATION:
UNDER THE BROADWAY BRIDGE- This parking location is right next to the meet-up spot and is accessible to those who have mobility needs.
In front of the Robinson Center, you go WEST on Markham Street, cross over Broadway Street, and take the first right on Bruce Moore/Arch Street. This street dead-ends at the parking lot.
