No kings

We are a peaceful, nonviolent resistance movement, calling on our government to uphold the Constitution and end Executive overreach. We are of, by, and for the people!

Monthly meetup on the 1st Thursday of the month. For members and allies of the local LGBTQ+ Climbing Community! All skill levels and body types welcomed. Free for members, $15 Day Passes + Rentals for guests.

This is in response to the reconciliation bill HR1 passing the House and moving on to the Senate

Meet our “new” 1907 Hinners Pipe Organ!
Date: May 4, 2025
Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Location: Generation Building

We will be joined by members of the Peoria Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. You’ll be able to explore and hear the beautiful sounds made by this locally-made-in-Pekin organ which was removed from a closed church in Wisconsin and reassembled and restored by Buzard Pipe Organ Builders and Wheels O’ Time Museum volunteers. It’s a spectacular new addition to our Generations Building!

Transcript follows for screen readers " Hands off our democracy Saturday, April 19 12 - 2pm CDT Peoria Water Street and NE Washington Gather in parking lot (Peoria public parking lot- Hamilton Blvd) we will march together through downtown to stand up for our rights! "

Editor's note: water Street and Washington appear to be parallel, I think they're referring to this parking lot but please correct me if I'm wrong https://osm.org/go/ZUFx3zOF-?m

Peorians came out in droves yesterday as part of the coordinated nationwide Hands-Off protests. A crowd 400 strong showed up and stretched along one of the cities busiest roads and said NO to this fascist regime! We the people will fight like hell to save democracy! Let’s keep up the momentum! With mass boycotts and work strikes and protests we can hit our oligarchical ruling class right where it hurts, and take our power back!

First Thursday of every month, 6-8 pm, looks like they have passes for $15, cheaper than the usual all-day passes.

The people of Peoria came out strong for the People's March yesterday. Over 170 of us marched down Glen Avenue to shout truth to power and hear from many wonderful speakers in the community. We're not going back!
