No Kings peaceful demonstration on March 28, 12-2p.m. on Ash Creek Bridge, Black Rock and Fairfield line.
We are showing up together again on March 28.
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. America does not belong to strongmen, greedy billionaires, or those who rule through fear. It belongs to us, the people.

Oh, yeah! Peaceful March you say? Wait until the All Mighty Latin King Nation (AMLKN) shows up. Crossing the a Crown with red ink is DANGEROUS, at best you all will get your Ashes kicked up and down Fairfield Avenue. I wouldn’t attend such rally, especially in N.Y.C. or Chicago. Don’t think the Justice Department will see an urgent need to intervene in your instigation of violence. You’ve been advised.
So I hope to see signs pointing out all the King like behavior we see in Bridgeport and CT ( Not holding my breath) .
Highlighting :
Election integrity controversies & ballot fraud scandals
Multiple people connected to recent Bridgeport mayoral primaries have been charged or convicted in absentee ballot fraud investigations tied to the 2019 and 2023 elections.
A judge overturned a Democratic primary result citing “shocking” and “blatant” evidence of ballot harvesting.
Arrest warrants alleged that some individuals charged said they were paid by campaign operatives to handle absentee ballots.
Some defendants have pleaded guilty yet avoided prison sentences, receiving probation instead — something critics argue undermines deterrence.
Sign Ideas:
“Manipulation of elections = ruling without consent.”
“Political machines override voter choice.”
Transparency & public-records compliance issues
Connecticut officials have found repeated violations of Freedom of Information laws by Bridgeport government over many years.
Reports indicated long delays (sometimes years) responding to records requests and thousands of backlogged requests.
Sign Idea:
“Kings hide information — democratic governments must be transparent.”
Financial oversight & governance struggles
Bridgeport schools remain under state oversight and face major budget pressures, with audits recommending dozens of reforms.
A large housing cooperative required a state loan and court-appointed receiver after years of mismanagement, leading to fee increases for residents.
Sign Idea:
“Long-term mismanagement without consequences resembles rule by insiders.”
Long history of political corruption scandals (historical context activists cite)
Bridgeport has a decades-long reputation for corruption cases, including:
A former mayor who resigned after federal corruption convictions before later being re-elected.
Earlier administrations where numerous officials were indicted or convicted in federal corruption probes.
Sign Idea:
“Political dynasties / machine politics create ‘king-like’ continuity of power.”
CT Housing policy & zoning authority
State proposals and laws aimed at increasing housing supply (such as transit-oriented development incentives or zoning reform proposals) are sometimes viewed as reducing local control over zoning decisions.
Some towns and residents argue this shifts power from local elected bodies to state agencies or mandates.
Connecticut has debated and passed laws to encourage higher-density housing near transit and address affordability.
The tension between state housing goals vs. municipal autonomy is real and ongoing.
Sign Idea :
“Decisions about neighborhoods should involve the people who live there.”
________________________________________
Property taxes & fiscal structure
What critics say:
Connecticut relies heavily on local property taxes to fund schools and services, leading to wide disparities between towns.
Some policy proposals at the state level (such as regionalization or redistribution concepts) raise concerns about tax authority shifting away from local voters.
Connecticut consistently ranks among the states with the highest property tax burdens relative to income.
Municipal fiscal stress and unequal tax bases are documented issues.
Sign Idea:
“Tax systems should be transparent, fair, and accountable to voters.”
Emergency powers & executive authority (COVID era precedent)
During the pandemic, the governor exercised extended emergency powers, issuing mandates affecting businesses, schools, and gatherings
Some lawmakers and citizens argued the legislature had too little role in ongoing decisions.
These emergency power are still in place in CT to this day, why?
Sign Idea:
“Emergency powers must be temporary and accountable.”
These are just few examples of the King like behavior I see in Bridgeport and CT but I bet none of these will be issues at this “protest.”
