Mobilization kick off call September 18

The No Kings Coalition is proud to announce the kick-off to our October 18th national protest!

Join us to learn more about the vision, urgency, and strategy behind this national day of action. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned organizer, the time to act is now!

The Power Belongs to the people

In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice: No Kings. The world saw the power of the people, and President Trump’s attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power.

Now, he’s doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we’re choosing democracy.

That means there will be no media coverage. We need to be on the streets not on a computer.

Should be NO FASCISTS or NO DICTATORS

Hoping a powerful message flies with the No Kings, but I wouldn't hold my breath given a US culture obsessed with Royal Weddings and every episode of The Crown

become very popular. We have a 250 year history of rejecting authoritarian kings. The name was chosen very carefully.
THe countries who have actual kings use no dictators.

Highly recommend the weekly action call with Indivisible co-executive directors Leah and Ezra every THursday. It goes up on You Tube a few hours later so you can watch any time.
This is last week's

This is just more Orange Man Bad nonsense

The US has 3 equal branches of govt failing people on wages, housing, healthcare and human rights

Getting rid of Trump won't fix any of it

There are plenty of other movements that focus on specific policies that you can join up with if this one isn't to your taste.

Yeah, I have no interest in "resisting" Trump. He's like a bad season of a narcissistic-heavy celebrity show, and he can't even be taken seriously.

Too bad No Kings wasn't around when Bush Jr was in office, or Poppy, or Reagan...they (along with complaint Judicial and Legislative branches) did much worse

This will be huge! My stats from No Kings June 14th show there were 13.5 million people (originally they said 5 million, then 11 million). San Diego had 80,000 (originally they said (thousands, then tens of thousands then 60,000).
I've been to 30 protests during tRump's terms in office so far and I have become pretty good at estimating numbers and everyone is more accurate than anyone from MSM, who only recently started to report rallies at all.

3.5 % of the US population must attend a protest to be taken seriously. We hit that with 13.5 million! Malcolm Nance says that is the magic number/percentage.
