Excellent coverage! So happy to live here and have been part of this momentous day. The Joshua Tree community joined the 12 million plus across our Nation protesting Trump and his cronies. No Kings Day is officially the largest protest in American history.
You know I looked into it and The Desert Trumpet is financed by an NGO. For those unaware, NGOs are notorious for money laundering by special interest. Just thought I’d mention.
Hi Chris, Can you cite a source that The Desert Trumpet "is financed by an NGO"? Very curious to know where you read that.
The Desert Trumpet received funding in 2024 and 2025 from AHA Projects, which is a 501c3 non profit organization. If you look them up, I think you'll find they are not a NGO (which stands for nongovernmental organization). NGOs are classified as 501c4 and generally are social welfare organizations. AHA is not a social welfare organization, it's an arts and culture organization.
If you do research further, keep in mind that AHA Projects shortened their name in the last two years, so also look them up by their previous name, "Affordable Housing for Artists."
Thanks for this coverage. I am so proud to be a part of the Joshua Tree resistance!
Thank you for the thoughtful and complete summary of this memorable day in our community.
Well done, Desert Trumpet. And well done, people of Morongo Basin. At its peak, the crowd looked to be 1,000 strong.
I was there. You capture the event perfectly. Shared purpose. Community. Democracy in action.
