I suggest keeping it under 5 words. Also, get a very good image that will speak volumes.
Make your sign double sided (I always do that).

Make it strong and durable. I've had the same prototype/ base for all of my signs.

I discovered in 2017 that if you make one really strong sign and handle with a 3/4 inch dowel taped to a 36×24 white foam core your sign will withstand tons of protests and windy weather. Just make a new sign for each protest on illustration board and tape it securely to the foam core. Do a double sided one and you get more bang for your buck.

Any topic is applicable to NO KINGS. It covers everything from health care, Epstein, his failing health, henchman Miller, ICE, price increase due to his tariffs, etc. It's an all-in-one protest.
