https://indivisible.actionkit.com/mailings/view/120960With just a week until we hit the streets in historic numbers, Donald Trump is reminding us why the No Kings day of peaceful defiance is so important.
Hes weaponizing federal law enforcement to prosecute rivals. Hes trying to intimidate pro-democracy organizations he dislikes, including ours. Hes ordering American troops to invade American cities. And hes proving every day that he thinks hes above the law -- not a president, a king.
But this is the United States of America. We dont do kings here, and one week from today, were coming together to prove it.

Join us next Saturday for the largest day of peaceful protest in modern US history. Choose one of 2,500+ No Kings Day events to fight Trump tyranny and send an unmistakable message: No crowns. No thrones. NO KINGS.
We know this administrations constant onslaught of cruelty and mounting threats can be scary and demoralizing. Thats their intent.
When Trump uses troops in displays of faux-strength -- or threatens legal action against peaceful dissenters -- hes trying to shock us into obeying in advance. The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.
But the people wont bow down. We will rise.
And in just one week, well speak out on a grander scale than Trump has ever seen -- in major cities and small towns in all 50 states and across the globe. Were on track to make next Saturday the biggest day of mass protest of our lifetimes, but that can only happen if enough of us show up and bring others with us.
Click here to see all the No Kings protests on our map, and get ready to join a gathering near you on Saturday, October 18. Then, invite a few friends to come with you.
P.S. Many of you made your plan to join No Kings weeks ago, but to make this a truly historic day of defiance, we need your help bringing new folks into the movement! Please forward this LINK to three friends who may want to join us!

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

(54,034 posts)1. I bet the real number will be over 3,000 protests
I've come to the conclusion that all of Johnson's efforts to gaslight the ignorant Americans is going to backfire in spades!!!!! In fact, I believe that he is actually increasing the numbers of angry Americans and more people WILL plan to attend due to his BS. He is dumber than dirt.
I've been watching the map and there are more protests planned in other countries now than there were for the June 14th NO KINGS Protest.
