Alamogordo Pro-Democracy Protests Persist, Expand to Local Government Meetings Amid Rising Activism

Alamogordo, NM – February 27, 2026 – Weekly protests organized by local activists in Alamogordo continue to draw attention, with demonstrators now increasingly participating in city commission and county commission meetings  to advocate for their causes as well as transparency, accountability and citizen engagement at all levels of government. The movement, which emphasizes democratic principles and opposition to perceived authoritarianism, and back room politics has reported heightened confrontations with counter-protesters identifying as MAGA supporters, prompting calls for enhanced security measures at upcoming events.

In a recent social media post from organizer K.D., shared with collaborators Denise Lang-Browne and Marty McFarland, the group highlighted an “uptick in issues with MAGA during our small weekly protest.” Organizers urge community members to volunteer for security roles at the upcoming “No Kings Day 3” event planned for March 28, emphasizing the need for “dedicated eyes on the crowd and the parking lots and lurkers” to ensure participant safety.

Organizers have been in direct communication with Alamogordo Police Chief Kunihiro regarding these security concerns and preparations for the event. To bolster their efforts, a brief meeting is planned to provide training on de-escalating confrontations and general security tips. 

Additionally, the group is seeking loans or donations of walkie-talkies to improve coordination among volunteers.

The previous “No Kings Day 2” event, held on October 18, attracted 314 attendees, according to media report and millions across the nation as outrage grows against the backdrop of perceived administration heavy handed tactics, a possible undeclared war with Iran, ICE escalations and failure to act on the Epstein files with serious prosecutions.

Organizers express optimism for even greater turnout at No Kings Day 3, predicting at least 400 participants. They encourage supporters to spread the word by downloading and sharing event promotional images, noting privacy settings that may limit direct sharing on some platforms.

These protests, which have been ongoing weekly with small gatherings and tied to the larger nationally affiliated gatherings reflect a broader local push for civic engagement at all levels of government.

By attending city and county meetings, participating in public comments protesters aim to influence local policy and decision-making processes, demonstrating a strategic focus on municipal, county, state, and federal governance.

Local authorities, including the Alamogordo Police Department, have not issued public statements on the specific security discussions but have historically supported peaceful assembly rights while monitoring events for public safety.

Community members interested in volunteering or contributing resources are encouraged to connect with the organizers through their social media channels. As the movement evolves, it underscores Alamogordo’s active role in national conversations about democracy and civic participation.
