"Pro-democracy campaigners late Monday announced a nationwide "No Kings" day of defiance on June 14—the same day U.S. President Donald Trump plans to hold a birthday military parade more befitting a dictator than an elected head of state.

More than 100 "No Kings" events have already been registered across the U.S., with many more expected in the weeks ahead of the day of action. "

Exactly this. Plus it builds community and makes people feel like they aren’t alone, especially in red cities like mine.

I’ve organized these rallies and every time I always get new people saying this is their first time at a protest. Last Hands Off! rally, I met a veteran who said she voted for Trump and regrets it, so she’s trying all she can to right her wrongs.
