    About this event
    In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings.

    Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

    The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. On October 18, we'll meet at the flagpole next to Whalen Commons at noon with our signs, flags, finest resistance T-shirts, and enthusiastic voices. We'll fan out along the sidewalk single file growing our line of solidarity toward the elementary school in one direction and toward the center of town in the other. Join us as we line up for democracy!

    Parking is available at Whalen Commons and nearby shopping centers, but please leave spaces closest to businesses open for their customers.

    A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

  • For the Protection of Girls and Women – The Crisis of Jewish “White Slavery,” 1880-1920

    October 19, 2025  1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

    A rarely-discussed crisis in the worldwide Jewish community occurred during the Jewish emigration boom of 1880-1920. Eastern European Jewish girls and young women, desperate to change their circumstances, were being deceived or coerced by Jewish human traffickers and sold into prostitution. Jewish women in London, living in the emigration crossroads, led an international fight to combat “white slavery,” as it was then known. They were soon joined by American women, and others, who enacted schemes to protect the vulnerable but also lobbied for legislation against the traffickers. This presentation will discuss the circumstances that allowed these crimes to occur, and the organizational and government responses. Finally, one woman’s tragic story.

    This one-hour program, conducted over Zoom at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, is free for members. This is one of the many activities that is a benefit of JGSGW membership. Instructions for joining the online meeting will be placed under Meeting Info & Links in the Members Only Files. (These files become visible on this website after members sign in.) Nonmembers may register to attend for a fee of $10.

Azaria is an acclaimed voice artist, perhaps best known for his decades of work on The Simpsons. Now, he’s using his voice in a new and different way and having a blast entertaining people in a live concert setting. Azaria spent months creating an impression of Bruce’s distinctive speaking cadence and singing ‘voice’ to conceive a tribute show, and the resulting performance is a soul-lifting, full-tilt rock ’n roll event you don’t want to miss. For more about the project, visit: https://www.ezstreetnyc.com/new 

    The artist’s net proceeds will benefit The Four Through Nine Foundation, which was founded by Azaria and is committed to social justice, education and recovery causes — “I can’t think of a better way to spend my time and use my passion for voices than playing these songs for a crowd that loves them and to lovingly pay tribute to Bruce, while raising money for folks who need it.”

  • Hello, Dolly!

    November 11, 2025
    Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney Sandy Spring Rd, Olney, MD 20832, USA

    Dolly Gallagher Levi is a woman on the make. And what’s she making? Whatever you need. A husband? A wife? Dance lessons? Pierced ears? There’s never been a more indefatigable figure in American musical theatre, and perhaps that’s why the role has served as a vehicle for some of our greatest stars, from Carol Channing to Barbra Streisand to Bette Middler. Now, the DMV’s reigning musical superstar, Nova Y. Payton (World Goes 'Round), takes on the title role of a musical that churns out laughs, songs, and over-the-top antics as fast as humanly possible…and then goes a little faster. Audiences of all ages are guaranteed a great time at this classic musical about love, second chances, and the magic of an adventure to the big city!
