A “No Kings” protest is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 18th, at Peace Park (Broughton Drive, near Michigan Ave & N 3rd Street), Sheboygan, WI. Visit www.nokings.org to find out where they will hold a protest in your area.

This gathering is part of a growing movement that challenges systems of power, inequality, and the concentration of authority in the hands of the few. Whether the message is aimed at political leadership, corporate dominance, or symbolic rulers, the protest serves as a platform for people to voice their demand for fairness, democracy, and a more just society. It’s a chance for the community to come together, share their concerns, and stand up for values that matter.

It’s vital to remember that this protest must remain peaceful and respectful. Protesting is a powerful right, protected in many democracies, but it comes with responsibility. The moment a protest turns into violence or chaos, the message can be lost, and people can get hurt—both physically and legally. Let’s make sure the focus stays on the cause and not on disruption or danger. We encourage all attendees to stay calm, avoid confrontation, and de-escalate tense situations wherever possible.

Peaceful protest is not a weak form of resistance—it’s one of the strongest. It shows unity, discipline, and clarity of purpose. Throughout history, peaceful movements have driven real change because they maintained the moral high ground and built public support. This Saturday, let’s raise our voices, not our fists. Let’s be heard for the right reasons, and show the world that we can demand change with dignity, strength, and peace.

My name is Christine Plocar, and I am proud to be a lifelong resident of Sheboygan. Growing up on farms in the area, I spent my early years helping my parents raise chickens and horses, and I loved planting gardens that blossomed with each season. Even now, I continue this tradition by raising chickens.

Education has always been important to me. I attended Fairview Elementary in Plymouth, followed by Farnsworth Middle School, and completed my high school education at both North and South High schools in Sheboygan. After the loss of my mother, I returned to school and, in a moment of pride, graduated with my daughter in 2014, earning honors despite the challenges we faced.

My entrepreneurial spirit has been a constant throughout my life. When I got my first computer, I knew that data entry and e-commerce were paths I wanted to explore. The summer of 2022 was a turning point for me when I met Brian Bateman. He saw my potential and gave me the opportunity to learn data entry and website management. Today, I play an active role in managing Sheboygan Life, where I write articles that highlight the positive aspects of our community and work to promote the good in our beloved city.
