As Donald Trump is celebrating his birthday with a Putin-style military parade in Washington on Saturday, the group “Indivisible Butte” will be holding a No Kings rally and food drive.

The rally, which is being held in conjunction with No Kings rallies across the nation, will take place from noon to 2 p.m. on the sidewalk outside the Butte Plaza Mall.

The group has been holding similar rallies for the last several months. It has held protest outside Sen. Tim Sheehy’s office, outside the Social Security Office, at the Federal Building as well as at the mall and Butte Civic Center. 

At these gathers, demonstrators protest for many different reasons or causes, but the heart of all the protests goes back to protecting our democracy. 

Sarah Borduin and Denise Herman are two members of Indivisible Butte. They were not founding members, but they have stepped up to help with the leadership of the group that is focused on supporting our neighbors.

They are speaking out because they say they know they could not look themselves in the mirror if they did not.

This podcast comes with some homework. Sarah sent me a handful of links to show how DOGE cuts, executive orders and the “Big Beautiful Bill” has affected and will affect the people in Butte and Silver Bow County. Those links are listed below.

Listen in to this conversation hear Sarah and Denise’s vision for Indivisible Butte, which is a non-partisan organization. Listen in to hear how the group is dedicated to making sure all protests are peaceful ones.

Listen in to hear how you can get involved. Also, listen to hear how you can talk to the group if you do not agree with it.
