NO KINGS DAY

As Trump hosts a military parade in DC on June 14, we’re rising up everywhere else to show him, his fascist allies, and our fellow Americans we still have the power to defy and defeat tyranny. Use this link to learn more and make a plan to join us for a national day of defiance.

June 14, No Kings Day, needs to be our biggest day of protest yet — with more people, in more places, making even more pro-democracy noise than ever before. Here’s how you can step up:

• Find and sign up for a No Kings Day event near you. We already have dozens of events forming all over the country, and we’re working with partner organizations (and folks like you) to add even more every day.

• If you don’t see a protest planned in your community, consider organizing your own. Our No Kings Day toolkit offers guidance, tools, and resources to organize and promote a June 14 protest wherever you’re reading from right now.

• Spread the word on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, or wherever you connect with friends. Grow Trump’s opposition and multiply your impact by recruiting 2-3 friends to join your local No Kings Day event.

The wannabe king in the White House wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of power for his birthday. But we’re going to show him what real power looks like.

See you on June 14.

In solidarity,
Sarah Dohl
Co-Founder & Chief Campaigns Officer

May Day Strong

Trump and his billionaire profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. This May Day we are fighting back. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, prosperity over free market politics.

Registration is open for trainings this June, July, and August:

• Action Trainings to Resist the Fossil Fuel Billionaire Takeover

• Skills to Win: Workers vs. Billionaires. ”Tailored specifically for groups in the May Day Strong and 2028 strike networks who want to sharpen their organizing skills to take on the billionaires. Registration will close on May 26, but we encourage you to register as soon as possible

No Voice Unheard
NoVoiceUnheard aims to empower all those whom the current U.S. administration and its operatives seek to silence. And in 2025, if you object to policies, fall outside of certain demographics, are not a member of the 1% who hold 30% of this country’s wealth, voted blue—or simply voted at all—that’s you.

Our goals are to amplify the voices of the marginalized and make activism more accessible by:

1. Serving as a directory of verified upcoming protests and activities connecting people to their community.

2. Offering resources to help you protest legally and nonviolently in whatever way you feel comfortable, from wherever you are.

3. Sharing unfiltered information about emerging directives and actions—free from the algorithms designed to quash dissenting messages and manipulate public opinion.

4. Fostering an informed, compassionate community where all are free to contribute to the effort, whether with time, talent, or attention.

NO KINGS National Day of Mobilization

In America, we don’t put up with would-be kings. NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies.

On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide. We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

The flag doesn’t belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

Our goal in 2025 is to focus on four areas: Women’s Reproductive Rights, Immigration, Disinformation and Democracy, and 3A Housing. We will keep updated on the status of these areas, both locally and federally, and take actions through our sub-committees to participate and communicate volunteer activites.
