THE 2nd NO KINGS DAY national protest day is fast approaching but it isn't too late to sign up to attend an event in your area. I am going to the protest in Leesburg, VA, Please see the below from Indivisible and click the links for more information on your interest. Remember, DEMOCRACY IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT!!!
No Kings Activists, It is officially October, and that means we are in No Kings month. In just over two weeks on October 18, we take to the streets to peacefully remind the Trump administration that we are strong, we are loud, and we will not allow them to turn our beloved democracy into a dictatorship. As we watch President Trump continue to deploy masked federal agents on American soil, as we watch him threaten mass federal firings to jam up systems already teetering on the edge, as we watch him continue to callously revel in having ripped away health coverage from millions of Americans, it is clear that No Kings Day could not come at a more important moment. We are so thankful to have you standing up for freedom. No Kings has already surpassed the June event total and we are still more than two weeks out. That means that with over 2,100 events, nearly no matter where you are, no matter where your family lives, there is a No Kings event close by -- now we need your help to make No Kings Day the biggest, most successful, single day nonviolent protest in our history. Here’s what you can do: |

- Sign up for our Know Your Rights and De-escalation training on next Monday, October 6, at 8pm ET/5pm PT. This training will give you the tools to take action safely, confidently, and with key de-escalation strategies in hand. Whether you're marching, rallying, or supporting from the sidelines, you'll learn how to protect yourself, your community, and stand up for your rights. This training will also be provided on October 15 at 7pm in English or en Español a las 8:30pm ET.
- Share No Kings Day on social media with our social sharing tool. The most important thing we can do right now to make this day a success is get the word out so far and wide that everyone knows it’s happening. Personalize the message as you see fit, and use this tool to share on your own social media.
- Bookmark the No Kings website. The website is your one stop shop for all things No Kings. From the event map, to trainings, to event creation, and more. Get your neighbors to join you at your local event by making sure they register, and have your friends across the country find an event near them.

No Kings day is not just a protest against our country’s march toward authoritarianism. It is also a celebration of the unbreakable spirit of each and every person in this country who refuses to allow that to happen. We don’t just march for ourselves. We march for our friends who can’t be with us, we march for our ancestors who fought to make this country a better place, we march for our children and the future generations who deserve a better world. Let’s make October 18 one for the history books. See you in the streets, The No Kings Team |
