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.

3. Great! And it is important to emphasize that this is a virtual event at 8-9PM EDT - join from anywhere!

5. I'm disappointed this a virtual event.

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

6. the kickoff call is the virtual event

[TomSlick]

8. Let me know when a real event is scheduled.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

9. lol it's right there. October 18. The kickoff call, held virtually and for the purposes of organizing, is Sept. 18.

[Nittersing]

13. Yeah, the OP is a little unclear

The link goes to the organizational/planning meeting (on Sept 18th) but the actual event is scheduled for Oct 18th.

[Amaryllis]

14. Thanks; I fixed it. The first link wasn't clear.

[Nittersing]

17. Much better!! Thanks

[Amaryllis]

18. THank you for pointing it out! I am invested in this message getting out. :)

4. Great idea - terrible name

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

10. The sponsoring organizations went with No Kings becasue it has taken on a life of its own in American culture and has

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

11. Great slogan in 1775

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

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. The No Kings movement is specifically an anti-Trump movement. It is narrowly focused on resisting his autocracy.

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.

[leftstreet]

19. Good point

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

NO KINGS!!

21. I 'm already signed up. There are 130 planned protests as of today.

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.
