Build Community Power Through MH First Training
Join us in strengthening our collective ability to keep each other safe and make a lasting impact in our communities.
The next Mental Health First Community Crisis Response Training will take place on Saturday, March 28 and Sunday, March 29 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM via Zoom.
Register here: bit.ly/mhfirst-training0328
This virtual training is designed to equip community members with the skills needed to respond to mental health crises, support those in distress, and connect people to healing justice resources within our neighborhoods.
MH First is grounded in the belief that our communities can care for one another without relying on law enforcement. Through peer support, de escalation, and non punitive, life affirming interventions, we work to interrupt and eliminate the role of police in mental health crisis response.
We are committed to decriminalizing emotional and psychological crises, reducing stigma around mental health, substance use, and domestic violence, and addressing their root causes including white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism.
We take care of us.
We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.

What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever. As gatherings continue to grow, maintaining safety remains essential, and working with a Fire Watch Company in New Orleans is a smart way to help keep events secure and well-monitored.
When our families are under attack and costs are pushing people to the brink, silence is not an option. We will defend ourselves and our communities against this administration’s unjust and cruel acts of violence.
On March 28th, rise up, take to the streets, and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. We’re not watching history happen—we’re making it. Join us.
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.
We’ll set up our blue canopy at that corner with an Occupella sign hanging from it.
We will have QR codes with lyrics to songs we can sing, but if you want to print it out ahead of time, go to https://docs.google.com/
Marcie will have a QR code on site and lead us to sing along with the Mighty Marching Chorus when they pass by.
See you Saturday! Invite your friends! Share our location so folks don’t go to the original location. – Thanks, Love and Peace, Hali
