Trump has launched a deadly war of choice -- in his own words, another potential forever war -- against Iran.
And ‘war of choice’ here means more than the absence of an imminent threat. It means that Trump brought our country into this war without congressional authorization or buy-in from the American people. Ignoring the Constitution, public sentiment, and the warnings of his own advisors, he made the choice to plunge an entire region into war, to send young Americans to their deaths, to sacrifice the lives of Iranian civilians.
That’s the behavior of a tyrant. And as we gear up for the largest protest in US history on March 28, we need to be clear that No Kings means no imperial wars.
We’ve spoken at length about the strategic logic of protest and the various audiences we intend to reach with mass mobilizations: those we are protesting, those in positions of power who can block Trump’s authoritarian breakthrough if they have the courage to do so, and the millions on sidelines we can pull into our pro-democracy movement.
But today, we’re also thinking about the billions around the globe who are watching Trump turn our nation into a rogue state as he threatens our allies, abandons the vulnerable, and unleashes chaos that impacts their families directly and indirectly. We’re thinking about the Iranian civilians who’ve gone from a brave struggle against their own tyrannical government to fleeing bombs from ours.
On March 28, we need to show up in world-historic numbers to send a message: Not in our name. The people of the US reject Trump’s brutality at home and abroad and we say in one voice: No wars of aggression. No terrorizing our communities or yours. No tyrants, no conquests, no kings.
If you have not found a protest in your area yet, check our map. Choose a protest to attend, and then please invite three friends to join you.
Chip in to help us make this a day of nonviolent protest that will echo across the planet. We still need to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to support thousands of massive, powerful, safe events across the US and the world. We could really use your help to make No Kings as big and as powerful as possible.
No Kings is 25 days away. Between now and then, we’ll be pushing Congress to rein in this out of control regime. We’ll be working with allies on anti-war protests -- we’re not going to be waiting weeks to get out into the streets to demonstrate against this war.
But in this generation, there has never been a more important time for a massive show of people power against a regime that’s caused so much devastation at home and around the world. So as we do the work each day to resist Trump and the enablers of his fascism, we are also going to do everything in our power to make the next No Kings as large, principled, and powerful as this moment demands.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
