YES! YOU SAW THAT RIGHT!!!! WE WILL BE MEETING
IN-PERSON AT THE CLUBHOUSE OF THE VILLAGE LODGE CONDOS
I think we have all missed seeing each other at in-person meetings for the last couple of months! So, this month we will be meeting in person and (hopefully) via ZOOM. We are only a month away from the General Election and I know we all want to visit with one another about that.
We have several new members and I want to make sure you have directions. The office of the Village Lodge Condominiums is located at 1000 Mechem in Ruidoso. The Clubhouse is located about 50 yards to the east of the office and is actually on Innsbrook. The Clubhouse is a large structure and has a wide staircase up into the building. Hope to see you there!

Here is a short video of our Democratic "float" for the Capitan Parade on July 4th. It was the largest parade ever with more attendees and presenters than ever before!
We had a good turnout for our
NO KINGS Rally on June 14, 2026; Photos below



The No Kings Protest on October 18th had a very good turnout. Here is a short video of the beautiful day.

DPLC is pleased to announce it willl be rallying with other national organizations such as Indivisible, Women's March and 50501, on October 18 at Country Club Park, at the corner of Sudderth and Country Club Drive, from 11am to 1pm. Check out the flyer below and mark this event on your calendar.
October 18 is a national day of action building on the success of the June 14 "No Kings" protests that drew more than five million participants. There are many ways to protest that don’t involve marching in the streets including amplifying the #NoKings message on social media, displaying a light (LED or candle) in your window nightly to show solidarity, and sharing factual information on the rights of protestors and the rights of anyone approached by immigration enforcement.

Previous Happenings

We are proud to join Women's March, 50501, nokings.org, the local chapter of Indivisible ("RIOT"), and other national groups in a nationwide Day of Defiance on Saturday, June 14, 1pm-3pm, at Country Club Park at the corner of Sudderth and Country Club Drive, Ruidoso.

NO KINGS National Day of Mobilization
In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. We’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego, we’re building a movement that leaves him behind. The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.
LOCATION: Country Club Park, Corner of Sudderth and Country Club Dr, Ruidoso, NM
Also HWY 54 in front of the County Court Building, Carrizozo, 11 - 1 pm
DATE AND TIME: 06/14/25 1:00pm - 3:00pm US/Mountain

The Ruidoso Protest was well attended with over 150 peaceful participants! Here is a link to a Facebook post by Jesus Figueroa with many interesting comments!

The Stansbury event on April 16 in the Ballroom at Inn of the Mountain Gods
was well attended. She is a true inspiration.
It was a very cold and windy day but about 60 of us showed up on April 5th for the Hands-Off Rally. See photos below.

Below are photos from our meeting with Deb Haaland on March 2nd.
