NO KINGS – Call To Action and Mass Mobilization – Saturday, October 18

  • President Trump thinks he’s a king.
  • In America, we don’t do wannabe Dictators or Kings. The power belongs to the people.
  • On October 18, we rise. Not to protect a broken system, but to protect each other, our families, our futures, and the communities and country we fight for every single day.
  • We must stand together now! As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger.

Will you be part of the NO KINGS mass mobilization on Saturday, October 18?

We do not bow to power. We build people power. Join an action near you

NO CROWNS, NO THRONES, NO KINGS.
