Could the "No King" protests on the 14th in Washington jam the streets and stop Trump's parade?

[lees1975]

I think protests and noise against all of this idiocy is going to have to ramp up to be effective.

1. The protests are supposed to be in all cities except Washington

No one should be there to give attendance to his little parade

2. Terrible idea

and just feeds Dump's narrative.

3. Hopefully

The predictions of thunderstorms will take care of the ridiculous parade

4. As reported by Rachel and affirmed by the maps of Indivisible, there are NO protests in DC that day...

The plan is that there should be millions and millions of protestors all over the country. So, find one near you.

5. There are NO "NO KING" protests in DC intentionally. There may be individuals protesting but the point is to ignore

and get media attention on the more than 2000 protests across the country. Not to mention that Trump has been warned that his stupid parade is likely to be under heavy rain and thunderstorms...

Here is what Indivisible--the No Kings organizers have said about the DC absence:

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

For that reason, NO KINGS is not hosting an event in Washington, D.C. We will instead have a major flagship march and rally in Philadelphia to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington. You can RSVP for the Philadelphia event here.

For participants in the D.C. area, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, find a local NO KINGS mobilization in Virginia or Maryland, or join our partners at Free D.C. for DC Joy Day, a community-led event in the District.
